Peggy SueBuddy Holly
Buddy Holly was a great American rock and roller who was active from the 1950s into the 1960s.
Alongside Elvis Presley, he colored the formative years of rock and roll.
His icons are his glasses, suit, and Stratocaster.
He is known for his distinctive hiccup-style vocal delivery.
He died young at 22 in a plane crash.
No Particular Place To GoChuck Berry
He was the god of rock ’n’ roll who shocked the world by releasing a new album at the age of 90, only to pass away shortly afterward.
This song reached No.
10 on the U.S.
charts in 1964.
There’s no need to say much more about him at this point, but among his many masterpieces, this track doesn’t get as much attention, so I really hope you’ll give it a listen.
Drownin’ My SorrowsConnie Francis
This is a song by Connie Francis, who produced numerous hits such as “Pretty Little Baby” and “Vacation.” Set to a country-tinged, catchy pop melody, it portrays the heart of a heartbroken girl drowning in sorrow.

The Marvelettes were a soul group that gained popularity in the 1960s.
They specialized in groovy dance tunes.
Their song “I Do” is a classic example of the kind of dance track they excel at, featuring an impressively catchy, upbeat melody.
Highly recommended for fans of bright, feel-good soul.

In Japan, it was given the completely unrelated Japanese title “Lemon no Kiss,” and groups like The Peanuts have covered it in Japanese.

It reached No.
1 in the US and No.
1 in the UK.

Chantilly LaceThe Big Bopper
The Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace” is famous as a classic oldies tune that represents early rock ’n’ roll.
Since The Big Bopper originally worked as a radio DJ, the track features lively, DJ-like vocal work.
The guitar parts, which give off a rockabilly vibe, are really cool too.
