1955: Jukebox Rhythm Review, Pt. 1
Let’s journey back 70 years and put the ol’ Rockola Jukebox back in the spotlight as we present part 1 of a 2 part feature on the biggest R&B jukebox records of 1955. It was a year of many firsts. 1955 was the first full year of Rhythm & Blues records consistently crossing over into the Pop Chart. Matt The Cat will point out just how popular some of these records were in the Pop Market. 1955 was also the debut year for Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Etta James. It was the last year for Johnny Ace, who scored the biggest hit of his career, posthumously. 1955 was the year of “Blackboard Jungle”‘s tremendous success in helping to deliver Rock n’ Roll music to the mainstream through the popularity of its theme song, “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock.” In Part 1, we’ll look at just how big a record “Unchained Melody” was, with 2 versions topping the R&B Chart and crossing over to the Pop Top 10. Little Walter, Ray Charles and Ruth Brown continued to score hits and make 1955 a year to remember. Part 1 covers the jukebox hits from January to June and Part 2 will focus on July through December.
