Alan Freed was probably the best known disc-jockey of the 50s. His biggest success was in NYC. He also promoted and MC'd several live concerts. Most of these shows had concert programs that you could buy. These are very hard to come these days. I borrowed several covers to these programs from the official Alan Freed website for this slide show.

In the late 50s Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel wanted to be rock and roll stars in the worst way. For some reason they got more than their share of chances. Together or individually they were known as Tom & Jerry, Artie Garr, Tico & the Triumphs and also Jerry Landis. Here are some scans of labels to records they made along with a few audio excerpts from a few of their songs.

Before the Four Seasons Frankie Valli was in a rock and roll group called the Four Lovers around 1956 and 1957. I have taken snippets from their very rare EPs and made a compilation from eight songs.
