Bill Haley was the first boss of Rock'n' Roll. Bear Family presents with this compilation the music that has influenced Haley and - in addition - a cross-genre collection of the best cover versions of his classic songs. The CD album covers two decades with recordings from 1938 - 1959! Sound influences of the early years. When Haley along with his Saddlemen turned to Boogie themes and R&B tracks during the late 1940s, Bill - coming from Western Swing - mixed the styles almost automatically and developed an early form of Rock 'n' Roll music.

The Best Of Chuck Berry is a 1983 compilation CD by American singer and guitarist Chuck Berry. This was made and released in West Germany in 1983 on Chess/Vogue.

This CD album covers the entire thematic spectrum on the subject of 'summer'! Special songs of the '50s and early '60s, which deal with bathing and beach, sunburn, ice cream and barbecue and, of course, love on warm summer nights. A little bit of Italy must not be missing. Summer time is party time. That was our focus when compiling this CD. Whether the party takes place at the pool, on the beach, in your own garden or at the lake. An exuberant summer party in the warmth of the sun or on a warm summer night is now musically supported. Music for dancing and dreaming and simply for having a good time. Cool music for the hot season!

Diddley wore huge glasses, sported impossibly loud check jackets and wielded a distinctive rectangular guitar - but the thing that really made him stand out from the crowd was his trademark ‘hambone’ guitar riff. Even though Bo didn’t exactly invent the riff, he definitely made it his own and parlayed it into an entire career, represented here by the eponymous Bo Diddley, the romantic pleas of Pretty Thing, the yearning Mona, and the boastful strut of Gunslinger. All of which prove what an amazing range of material could be squeezed out of just one beat. But Bo couldn’t keep that beat all to himself, because it was highly infectious. The rest of this 2-CD set is crammed with fine examples of those who fell under Bo’s influence, which amounted to pretty much everybody who was anybody at the time.

If variety is the spice of life, then listening to American radio during the early part of the 1960s was certainly a spicy experience! Legend has it that the period covered by these 3CDs was a low point in pop, roughly bordered by Elvis enlisting in the Army in 1958, and the American breakthrough of The Beatles in 1964. But even the briefest look at these titles - or the quickest of listens, will disprove that legend. Here is a delicious menu of dance sensations, virtuoso instrumentals, novelty hits, heart-breaking ballads together with some of the perkiest pop you could wish for.
