Rock baby rock it
The sizzling story of hot rock as you have never seen it before....... All-time classic 1957 rockin' film! Folks, FORGET about the horrible acting, corny dialogue and stupid story, the MUSIC is the thing here. The obscure, unpolished R&B and Rockabilly acts are fun to watch and listen to. We see Southern R&B in the raw with the Five Stars, Preacher Smith and the Deacons (what a catchy name!), and perhaps the best known of this bunch, Roscoe Gordon with his 'Chicken time' (complete with rooster on the piano!). On the Rockabilly side, we have the Belew Twins (sorta like the Everly Bros. with choreography). The Cell Block 7, with a unique mix of dixieland and rock and roll (a clarinet in a rock and roll band!? No joke, folks). And yes, there's the Elvis/Gene Vincent clone Johnny Carroll, who makes up in energy what he lacks in originality. The great thing about this film is that it preserves Dallas rock and roll acts who would have otherwise lived only in the memories of those who were there. 'Wild Style' goes rockabilly.
Teenagers battle mobsters who want to use their dance club for a bookie parlor. Rockabilly pioneer Johnny Carroll and the very hot Kay Wheeler ('Queen of Rock and Roll' and founder of the first Elvis Fan Club) star. Kay does her famous 'Rock n Bop' dance moves! Grrrrr! Unbelievably rockin' cool film! The best Rockabilly, Doo Wop and Rhythm & Blues...all in one movie! Wow! Rare rock n roll classic!
