At the Hop
The Precious Years: 34 Teen Dance Hits From The Bear Family Archive includes dreamy ballads, rockabilly, early pop, and novelties that used to be played in the late fifties and early
sixties at sock hops, pajama parties, proms, and soda joints, when all was frivolous and fun, unburdened by sophistication or protest. It was a time of innocence with a terrific soundtrack: Connie Francis, Marty Robbins, Tommy Sands, the Burnette Brothers (who taught Elvis how to rock, but that’s another story), Paul Anka, Pat Boone, Ersel Hickey, Crash Craddock, The Crickets, Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson, and more.
