Rock History Project, Episode 4 - 1958

Welcome to 1958, a year that forever altered the landscape of Rock and Roll.


Witness the drafting of Elvis Presley into the U.S. Army, a move that sparked national outrage and debate among fans. Meanwhile, the rising star Jerry Lee Lewis faced a career-threatening scandal concerning his marriage, while Chuck Berry unleashed the iconic anthem Johnny B. Goode.. The music industry also saw significant changes with the launch of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and the introduction of stereo LPs. Despite widespread criticism and censorship targeting rock and roll as the Devil's Music, it continued to define a new generation, with even instrumental tunes like "Rumble" and catchy tracks like "Splish Splash" facing bans in some markets.


Thank you for listening.
