This is the year that Elvis Presley got inducted into the U.S. Army. in West Germany from March of 1958 to March of 1960.This was not a good year for Jerry Lee Lewis. On December 12, 1957 he got married, nearly sending his career up in Great Balls of Fire, the title of his big hit for 1958. See, Jerry Lee married his 13 year old distant, but very obviously, kissin’ cousin.Worse, there was some question as to the status of one of his two previous marriages..Connie Francis became the leading female vocalist of her day, amassing records sales to equal and surpass those of many of her male contemporaries. Early Rock and Roll is strikingly devoid of women artists. A rare few, such as Zola Taylor of the Platters, were successful, but only as part of predominently male groups..For a happy, modern day ending, look to Little Anthony and The Imperials. enjoyed his biggest hit, Tears on My Pillow. Enjoy the flashback and see comment for the 80 tracks playlist.
