50's & 60's Rock & Roll Videos
Much as I liked the music from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, these guys still are great to watch. I also prefer an old black and white video to a series of moving still pictures. Feel free to sing along, I can't hear you. Suggestions for new additions gratefully accepted.

The Platters - The Great Pretender
The Great Pretender
The Platters
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire
Great Balls of Fire
Jerry Lee Lewis
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
I learned to love all of Hollywood money
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
You kissed me baby, woo, it feels good
Hold me baby, learn to let me love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine
I cut my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Well kiss me baby, woo-oooooo, it feels good
Hold me baby
I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I got this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I Will Follow You
Ricky Nelson
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love

There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
Follow you wherever you may go

Keep me away, away from my love
And where you go I'll follow!
The Drifters - Stand By Me
Darling Stand by Me
When the night
Has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
Oh I wont, be afraid
No I wont, be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble out to the sea
I wont cry, I wont cry
No I wont, shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand, by me
Hey stand, by me
Oh wont, wont you stand, stand by me
When the night
Is calm
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I wont, be afraid
No I (wont), be afraid
Just as long, as u stand by me
The Temptations - My Girl
My Girl
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl ooh)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh yeah
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame (ooh hey hey hey)
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim (oh yes I do)
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
