To take it a step further - what about the pop music of the 1950s?
The Shrimp Boats Are Acoming; Suger Bush I Love You So; How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?; Mama He's Making Eyes At Me; A White Sports Coat; What Do You Wanna Make Those Eyes At Me For?; Twenty Tiny Fingers; etc.
Remember Embassy records - only sold in Woolworth - first memory I have of them they sold for 3/6d. and eventually the price went up to 4/9d (old money). Only available in the large 78rpm size I believe. Now a poser for you - What was the only No.1 hit for Embassy records?

His original backing group was called "The Picks" - they disbanded and two members plus Buddy Holly teamed up with the others and formed The Crickets
Well I did not know that The Picks, I can only guess were the other two Jerry Allison and Norman Petty? Liz
