Comment:
Elvis had the most hits this year, but I limited him to two songs in this mix to give room for others such as The Platters, Little Richard, The Four Lads, Fats Domino, plus Bill Haley & His Comets (used two songs each for all of them). Also included six instrumentals including Moritat, which was originally written in 1928 and eventually became known as Mack the Knife (used the same rhythm).Feedback:
Nice lots of favs here.
Oh, man, '56 was such a great year! I love all of these songs... the platters, the clovers, the five satins... so good!
Don't you mean Little Richard had the #25 hit on Rip it Up. You have it listed at spot #10. I don't believe Bill Haley ever covered it
