This week's music box takes you back to one of the most exciting eras in popular music history. The 1950's saw rock 'n' roll grow and evolve, combining elements of blues, rockabilly, gospel, and boogie-woogie to create a genre that captured the imagination of the young people of the time.

Here are 15 of the very best rock 'n' roll songs from an era when music was all about fun and excitement!
