Listen all you birds... I'm the Eagle!
This episode of HOOT 'N HOWL is a 50's mix across the board. We listened to some fabulous 50's and early 60's boppers, crooners, doo wop, summer inspired pop, rhythm & blues, one of a kind wacky novelty records, songs about teenage strife, and of course some rock and roll!
Kicking off this episode with Ricky Nelson's 1957 very first hit record – I’M WALKIN' A Fat's Domino cover.
Before the single was released, Ricky made his television rock-and-roll debut on April 10, 1957, lip-synching "I'm Walkin'" in the Ozzie and Harriet episode "Ricky, the Drummer” -- http://youtu.be/sEVMoakb-Dc
