Rock n' Roll Album Numero 1.
(Rock n' Roll Album No 1).
I was asked to make a Rock n' Roll C.D, so here it is, comprising of 'Old songs' that I remember whilst I was just a teenager. It was a marvelous time, never to be forgotten.
Chuck Berry was an innovator, together with so many that jumped on the 'bandwagon', rounding off the whole escapade. It was said that Chuck 'paved' the way' for Elvis Presley, who in turn gave so much enthusiasm during those times. I was definitely part of this wonderful episode and genuinely contribute the songs below to the continuity of 'Rock n' Roll' music. - Happy listening - (wammy).
