50's Rock & Roll mix help.

[MrBrau1]

I'm trying to make a 50's or early Rock & Roll mix. I've got 19 so far, but could probably add 20 or so more (songs were so damn short in the 50's.)
I'd love any female artists, as I can't think of any until Motown exploded in the 60's.


Oh, and damn, this is some good shit.


1. Great Balls Of Fire / Jerry Lee Lewis
2. That'll Be The Day / Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3. The Great Pretender / The Platters
4. Long Tall Sally / Little Richard
5. Oh, What A Dream / Johnny Cash
6. Wake Up Little Susie / The Everly Brothers
7. (We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock / Bill Haley & The Comets
8. Blueberry Hill / Fats Domino
9. Blue Suede Shoes / Carl Perkins
10.Shake, Rattle And Roll / Elvis Presley
11.Red Hot / Billy Lee Riley
12.Tutti Frutti / Little Richard
13.Red Cadillac And A Black Moustache / Warren Smith
14.Rockhouse / Roy Orbison
15.Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On / Jerry Lee Lewis
16.Sweet Little Rock 'n Roller / Chuck Berry
17.Hound Dog / Elvis Presley
18.Walk The Line / Johnny Cash
19.C'mon Everybody / Eddie Cochrane

Thanks, I forgot about Sam-

Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha, recorded 1959.

Definitely Sam Cooke - I recommend Live at the Harlem Square Club.

Also, don't forget La Bamba by Richie Valens.

Ahh! I forgot him. This is great. 2 replies, 2 tunes.

I'm not expressly familiar with her music, but the 50s rock and roll female performer I've heard the most about is Wanda Jackson. Maybe you'd want to follow up on that.
