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. Dance halls moved to the sound of iconic artists like Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and of course, the King himself Elvis Presley, who all created songs that crossed race boundaries, informed youth culture and inspired a wave of dance crazes. Here are 15 of the very best rock 'n' roll songs from an era when music was all about fun and excitement!
