Many soon-to-be greats were taking early steps to stardom in 1956, among them best-selling vocal group the Platters, the inimitable Little Richard, rhythm and blues pioneer Ray Charles and rock n roll poet laureate Chuck Berry. Fats Domino and Roy Orbison also feature on our compilation. All of which goes to prove that rock n roll was here to stay!
