Rock Island Line: The Song That Made Britain Rock

Содржина

In January 1956, a new pop phenomenon appeared in the UK charts: a British artist playing a guitar. His name was Lonnie Donegan and the song he sang was "Rock Island Line'. Donegan's rough-and-ready style was at odds with the polished crooners who dominated the charts. He played the guitar in a way that sounded like anyone could do it. `Rock Island Line" sounded like nothing else on the radio and it inspired a generation of British youths to pick up guitars.
