In the 40's, 50's and part of the 60's, some record shops had a booth in the back where you could play and "preview" records before you bought them. If you lived in a small town this was the only way you could find out about the hot "teen" tunes. The local radio station and town folk were more interested in the big bands, sports, farm reports, and the weather. There was no MTV or VH1. |

| What makes Rock-it Radio different from other oldies stations?: In the 1950s American Music tastes were changing, the younger generation was looking for there own sound! And from Rhythm and Blues and Roots styles of music, a new hybred was born... Rock and Roll! Most commercial Oldies stations today are playing less and less of this venue! But on Rock-it - We are keeping that original sound alive! Not only that .... We are playing the rarities, lesser known songs of groups of the 50's and early 60's -- From the East Coast and West Coast Doo wop sounds, from the South the sounds of Rockabilly, the blending of the new sound of Rock mixed with the hillbilly music of the rural portions of the U.S. made famous from the SUN Record Studios. We also differ that we also will play several unreleased versions and alternate versions and shows celebrating the different venues of the first decade of Rock and Roll -- So give us a listen and we invite you to join our listener's club and stay in the know of what's going on at Rock-it Radio! |
