Rock ‘n’ roll era Pre-owned Sheet Music.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FOR CONDITION AND PRICES PER TITLE

These were the songs that changed pop music forever.

Rock ‘n’ roll arrived in the mid-1950s replacing crooners with a new entertainment fashion, considered dangerous at the time! Teddy Boys, flick knives, guitars, juke boxes and juvenile delinquents were all associated with the new music. The impact rock ‘n’ roll had on popular culture was shattering and the artists who pioneered it were sensational. Here we’ve gathered together some of those artists and songs that changed the course of popular music for ever. Sure, there were ballads, doo wop and there were dance crazes like "The Twist" which you could argue don’t belong, but we include in and as part of the magnificent "rock ‘n’ roll era".
