"Technologic21": Yes. We need to get ahold of Marty, The Doc, and fire up that Delorean! I (and probably a whole bunch of Other viewers) want to visit the '50's too!
I was a teenager in the 50's in California and nobody called the music that we listened to " rockabilly", it was always called "rock and roll" or just " rock". Rockabilly is a classification that Journalists came up with later.
I also was a 50's teenager living in Miami which BTW was a great place at that time. We called it R&R!!!!! Elvis , Little Richard , Chuck Berry , Gene Vincent.............
Marin County punks were calling it "rockabilly" in the mid 70's. I grew up with Bill Halley in the 50's and it definitely was never used before the 70's. Ricky Puke called ducktail hair with pompadour in front a "cliff". Then along came... psychobilly :)
Rockabilly was a way of separating the white southern Rock from city Do Wop or black race R&B. It was all the journalists trying to tell us how to like it. I'm sure back then people just called it Rock and Roll. I bet people would mention or knew that some music had a city vibe or a regional sound. But it was all Rock and Roll.
Bryan Charles It was a different time. World War II had ended and the American economy was very sound. Everything Americans needed was made in the United States of America from cars to refrigerators, clothes,shoes, TVs you name it everything was American made. People had gainful employment. People could live the American dream because they made a fair wage at their work and the unions were very powerful protecting the workers. Americans worked for one company for 20 years and then retired with a comfortable pension. People had respect and manners back then. If you didn’t you were considered a slob. Boy has that changed! The American dream is long gone. America is at a very serious tipping point and it doesn’t look good!

We will never hear music of this caliber ever again . This music is 70 years old and sounds better than anything you hear today . The simpler times in life when people loved life to the fullest .
There are many many young people nowadays reenachting this sound, this music, this style. There is even existing a worldwide Rock´n Roll / Rockabily culture living these good old times. My wifey and me were born in the very early 60s and since the first corona lockdown we write and perform mostly own songs in the oldschool style. Were were just a couple trying to reenacht this music. We are getiing better every time we perform. Rock´n Roll is still moving today and it´s still the same feeling to live this as it ever was. Just open your eyes and look around you. Rock´n Roll is not dead ! Dance Clubs, Diners, Car meetings, Band festivals, 50s markets, couture and shoes are reenacted and lot more that goes on in this modern world. :)
What amazes me watching this clip is that the colors used back then vastly surpasses the boring old shite that modern cars are now. We have the happy greys, whites, silvers, anthracites, brown and other depressing hues.
My Dad (RIP) was a Nash dealer back in the 50's and 60's, and Nash put seat belts in their cars early in the 50's. People would tuck them into the back of the seat cushions cause it was better to be "thrown clear" in case of a wreck. Riiigghhhttt!

So basically we bought up loads of old vinyl for a couple of cents a copy from huge thrift warehouses and nowadays many of those records return to the States for 100s and often 1000s of dollars. Just as well Britain has always looked a little deeper and recognised that just because something is no longer hip it deserves preservation and closer scrutiny.

Something that is in America but not in Russia or China! Freedom and rock'n'roll! Best of America!
WAS in america.
Yep NEVER HEARD of ROCK-A-BILLY TILL NOW AND I ALSO WAS BORN IN 1950,ROCK AND ROLL,😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hate seeing things like this because it makes me understand that things will never be this good again...
I feel you. I guess we are getting old. Makes me smile, and cry at the same time. I think of what my Grand Daughters first home purchase, or car will be like... "Okay Mam sign here, congratulations, here is your check for your new $22.456,124.00 trailer park home, oh it's a double wide, yes, of coarse"... she's 5 now.
@@whocares.20 Things are getting crazy. My wife and I have been looking for a new single wide mobile home and the cheapest you can find is around $45,000 in Louisiana. Its insanity.
Back when things were affordable and most people were sane.
Before the wealthy figured out they could make financing its own industry and farm people like cattle. With the help of the government of course.
@David Sanchez That's also capitalism. Because that's what we're living in right now.
They still had asylums back then so all the crazies weren’t on the street like now.
A TV back then cost the equivalent of a brand new BMW and you would bay 15 $ for a suit when most people just earned 100 $ a month. And talking about sanity: back then people were watching nuke explosions for fun and lynchings were still a thing.
And stop whining about capitalism. It gave you this platform where you can watch all this for FREE. No 0,25 $ for one piece in a jukebox like back then.
But yeah, the good old days and stuff...
"affordable", well youtube gives you this music for free. you would have to pay for that in the 50s
Don't be worry ; in Paris we - me and my friends - when we dance on this, we keep alive your pOOWWEerfull music ;) big thank
Théodore Ternisien us Americans too not just you...Don’t feel special
I'm glad that some of you in Paris,and all over Europe,are keeping this music alive. I think that it's appreciated more there than here in America. Best wishes to you and your fellow dancers.
@@rebelgreaser570 can you just be happy for someone for fucks sake
Yep
@@rebelgreaser570 If it wasn't for English kids in the 70s and 80s much of this music wouldn't exist on original 45 vinyl. America never did nostalgia then it was always about the next 'new thing' same with the rare soul scene and the blues it took the "British invasion" to show white America what it had in the archives. So basically we bought up loads of old vinyl for a couple of cents a copy from huge thrift warehouses and nowadays many of those records return to the States for 100s and often 1000s of dollars. Just as well Britain has always looked a little deeper and recognised that just because something is no longer hip it deserves preservation and closer scrutiny.
TH-cam is the closest to a time machine we can get.
I said this to my husband.
@@music_istherapy8860 Good to know! I am extremely glad that to know that you told this to your husband, and he was informed about this TH-cam comment. You see, before I knew this, I was in a completely different state. Now that I know you told your husband, I said "Gee, that is interesting!" Thank you for telling us that you said this to your husband.
Hourly wage I think was 1.25 an hour days and more for evenings and night shift am I right ?
Na my 66 GTO is. I sit in it and Im 16 again. :)
@Bambi Palmer No criticisms just messing around! We're all here to listen to some rockabilly music. No harm no foul, all love no hate.
I wanna live that again
OMG! Four O'clock Baby! This song roxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!
These images of the daily life in the USA in the 50's are quite fascinating!!!!!!!!!!!!!an heaven period!
It looks like such a great time to be alive.
God Bless America.
J'adore ces musiques là alors que je suis né en 1963 mais ma mère m'a dit qu'elle allait danser sur ces musiques là donc je pense que j'adore grâce à ça
This video is freedom, be what you want, do what you want, say what you want.
You couldn't be gay or black though, you had to fight for that
Lobster the Mobster millions of black and gay folks would disagree with you, but yeah good story bro
@@Deibote i mean if you were gay you'd be disowned form your family and had to hide your identity away tonbe accepted and if you were black you were excluded, mocked, and hated by society. That doesn't sound like being what i want and doing what i want. Those people had to fight to be accepted though things like the civil rights movement and gay rights movements
Love this old footage
The film quality is unbelievable !
Yeah, for sure. The quality is really impressive, considering the years when these videos were filmed👏🏾
A lot of social connection/interaction back then. Society and people weren't atomized and cerebral like they are now.
@David Sanchez A racist preaching 'empathy' LMAO
It was safer too, and less political. White majority too.
@@steveconn yeah, because your diversity and leftism has ruined every major city.
@@ThePixieKite look up 5G moron.
@@ThePixieKite if you don't agree with me, then you get lost libtard.
My grandfather was born 1906 ,he was a music writer, as a child in the 70s,i remember music sheets everywhere throughout the house,he always wore zoot suits and hat til he died in 1981,he was fit,musle tone, at 70,he was a youngful teenager, chewed gum everyday,,he was so cool.
I see only all american made cars! Love it!
Notice how skinny and healthy everybody was back then.
Because they are the ones who invented fast food and tv dinners.
Except for the fact that they all smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day.
Mcdonalds happened.
Ever notice on planes trains buses and cars that the seats are getting smaller and smaller as the people's butts are getting bigger and bigger
We also had a manufacturing economy instead of a service economy.....people did alot of hard work instead of sitting behind desks.
@Gus Goose better a lion for one day than a sheep for 100 years.
No doom, no gloom, no destruction - 100% positive tunes :D

La plus belle religion du monde Le rock n roll
Rock and Roll took several steps back around 1959-60. Took it several years to come back, and it was never the same.
Elvis was drafted..
@@brianmoran3450 Elvis Was The Least Of The Problems.
Ritchie Valenzuela, Buddy Holly And Big Bopper Died In 1959.
Eddie Cochran Died An Year After, Chuck Berry And Jerry Lee Lewis Were Arrested For Some Months Along With Dion And The Belmont's Tenor Angelo D'leo Being Drafted Too.
Besides Elvis Was Only Making Those Super White Movies Because He Was Being Criticized. (He Only Came Back As A Singer In 1967/1968).
So Yes, The Last REAL Year Of Rock 'n Roll Was 1963, Before JFK Died And The British Invasion Took Over.
1961 To Early 1962 Were The Last REAL Years That Feels Like The 50s Vibe.
Sorry For That Long Text.
Forgot all about that lou lou song from darrell rhodes 👌🏽 i was born in the wrong time ….love the 50s
ı love 1950's and 1980's.ahhhhh....
Good old days 🎸🎶😁
Rockabilly-Super! 💥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s crazy how clean and organized ,it just looks like paradise ..high standard of living who’s was running things back then? They did a great job !
its called pride..which is something you see very little of anymore
It's simple this happens when u concentrate a bunch of civilizated people in a good place ! :) Peace and God keeps blessing your Country !!!
Republicans ..till the mid 70's.
It's called a small population. Is like saying that a house with three people is the same with 30.
@@brianmoran3450 EXACTLY !And they still hated communists (today they call themselves "progressives"). This was the real America that unfortunately the Democrats destroyed
No matter what music from the 50s and 60s sounded live as hell
Thanks for the ride, great footage and music!
I feel blessed with this morning recommendation
The blues at speed ❤
Kodachrome - color saturation that is still kicking ass after 85 years.
85 ??? 1950 is 71 years ago 🤨😉
I have some old Kodachrome slides that still look good.
People keep commenting about the sexy women, but let’s not forget how hot those cars were.😍😍😍😍
late 50s till late 70s were the best, huge engine huge cars, luxury at its finest level.
That good old Detroit steel
Love cars from these times. They were bad ass cars.
Absolut powerful beauties!
The chrome was thick and the women straight!
When San Francisco wasn't a giant toilet! LOL
Right!
Hrm,...I wonder what happened.
@@Blackadder153 liberalism.
Pan M8 You don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@NOSEBLOB how so? What do you attribute the problems to? California is a beautiful state. The liberal politics and lack of upholding the existing laws, has ruined the major cities. This decay in San Francisco, didn't happen overnight. This has been building since the 90's.
Even the waters in the bays look happy back then😁😁👍
It's time to make America great again!
Rock music met hillbilly music and had a love-child. This is years before the
Stray Cats brought it back. Rockabilly wrecks, live fast/die young, party on
Stray Cats are the Beez Neez,
I’m sitting here in my kitchen making my morning coffee just dancing! God I remember dancing in the middle of the god dam parties to this type of music... Now I’m tearing up... I’m 20 Y/O Now but my past life is coming out!
Thanks , what a great compliment !
"ThE RaGiNg GaM3R":
You were really a hipster in a past-life in the '50's?
How cool is that!
I love hearing about past life experiences!

No idea man but this shit brought back feelings like nothing else ever has... I’m 21 and it feels so dam good!
@@theraginggam3r679 :
That could be exactly why you've experienced those feelings!
142horizon what?
Combined with the Home Videos from a forgotten and different time is amazing for an early Gen-Z like me.
建物の雰囲気は今でも見掛ける様な感じで、新しく取壊す事が無い限り永く持ちそうです！。車やバス等の乗り物や女性の服装、髪型等のオシャレが時代を感じさせますが、今見ても新鮮ですね❣️。
Back when things were made in America. Americans had pride in making things to last.
Really Great video with REAL music. Thank You from UK.
I've never been in that era but I feel right at home ❤️
Found something i can finally listen to.
Эх, вот же люди жили в 50ые
I 💘 this 🎵.
What a time it must’ve been to be a teenager.
Excellent !!!!! Five Stars !!!!!!!
I went to sleep listening to this last night. I woke up with a jelly roll and a leather jacket, rolled up jeans and engie boots. Then a toothpick slid out of my mouth like magic. I popped my collar and swaggered out the door. Now I am installing a reverb kit in my Subaru.
Amerika szép és nyugott.
Keep on rockin' daddy Os!
I wish I was alive back then, I don't give a hoot about the problems of the 50's, far better than the modern day by a longshot.
