This week we’ll look a little deeper under the charts, focusing on the year 1959, a time when teenage targeted music encouraged new dances, new forms of self-expression and a sound whose influence went beyond the sweetheart, white bread sounds of middle America. To say the least, older generations associated it all with some sort of moral decline. But the sounds of the post-rock explosion laid the foundation for everything that followed: the rise of the teen market, generational conflict as a defining social theme and a sound that was a vehicle for identity and change. Adolescence itself was being redefined. We’ll tune into one of our favorite themes: under the charts. Songs you likely haven’t heard but a few I’m sure you have; tune in for music from Robin Luke, Tommy Sands, Chuck Berry, Carl Mann, Joe Antel and over two dozen others in a two hour sock hop blast here on KOWS Community Radio.
