Basia and Chuck Berry
I hear you about Chuck Berry but Rock Around the Clock was the Anthem of that era. Blackboard Jungle was a shock but I did get duck tail hair style, zoot suit black pants and used black jacket and drove on a rickety motorcycle. Remember Jimmy Dean and Brando? That was an era and Bill Haley started it though I agree it was basically a one hit wonder. Chuck Berry had more hits.
Re Basia, will definitely listen to her. I love songs in foreign language even though one can't understand the words. Love song is a love song. There is a Filipino singer Claire de la Fuentes who sings in Tagalog. She has a beautiful voice. I also like foreign singers singing popular American songs in their own languages. Tom Astor is a German country singer who sings some of Elvis's songs in German.
