TOP 20 ROCKABILLY SONGS I love Rockabilly and all the old school styles of the Shak’n, Rattl’n and Roll’n. If there is old vinyl you are searching for, Third Man Records (Jack White of the White Stripes’ label) has recently joined with Sun Records and is reproducing the oldies on vinyl for our listening pleasures. Here are the top 45s releases of the 1950s Rockabilly oldies:
The song that started it all: That’s All Right by Elvis Presley,Scotty Moore & Bill Black (the Blue Moon Boys) on Sun Records 1954
