The decade of the Fifties gave birth to Rock and Roll. When Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock became popular in 1955, the nation learned to swing to a whole new sound. Prior to that the Big Band Era from the 40's was still the the driving force in music.
But, Rock wasn't the only music of the Fifties. Other artists with other songs had folks hummin' for much of the decade. Pat Boone , Perry Como and Patti Page - just to mention the "Ps".
The feel-good innocence of a lot of the Fifties music reflects on the post World War II optimism in America. The young people of the time, an emerging force called teenagers, hadn't struggled through the war years. They were looking for something more exciting. They discovered that vitality in Rock and Roll.
During the Fifties both styles of music co-existed quite nicely.

If you were born in the 1950s, 60s ro 70s, it is very likely that you would have had a player similar to these at home.
What's more, our record player not only look right, but they also come with everything you need - just import your favorite songs and play them - just like the fifties originals.
