The 50's saw a great change in popular music.  In the beginning of the 50's it was a carry over from the Big Band/Easy Listening era, but as the years moved forward we began to hear Doo Wop music.  And then, when Elvis entered the music kingdom, it was the birth of Rock & Roll.  Teenagers came forth with a new type of dancing at the sock hops, and the popular fashion for the girls was poodle skirts and bobby sox, and white t-shirts and jeans for the boys.

The boys wore their hair in a DA or Duck's Butt with a lot of grease to keep it in place (a little dab'll do ya), and a true girlish teeny bopper wore her hair in a poni-tail.  The music was sometimes called the "bubble gum" music, and the new singers and groups became our "teen idols."  In the late 50's we even got our own TV show - Dick Clark's American Bandstand!

It's been fun being a baby boomer ... until now. Some of the artists of the '60s are revising their hits with new Lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers.
