51 – Buddy Holly – That’ll be the day (1957)
A letra:
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
[Instrumental Interlude]
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly
That some day, well I'll be blue
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day

A letra:
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

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
Your fine, so kind
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine-ine

48 – Chuck Berry – Rock and roll music (1957)
No final de 1964, eles estavam exaustos de tanta turnê e gravações e como estavam com falta de material inédito, resolveram gravar alguns dos seus favoritos rocks antigos pra completar o álbum “Beatles for Sale”. Entre essas músicas, eles gravaram a versão deles de Rock and Roll Music, que se tornou tão conhecida como a original.
A letra:
Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could her my man a - whalin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them country folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home - brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play the tango
I'm in no mood to dig a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep a - rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock'n'roll music
any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try

I'm gonna love you more and more every day
I'm gonna love you more and more in every way
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try
I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you
I'm gonna tell my mama tell my papa too
So they'll know exactly what I'm gonna do
And if you say good-bye
Say if you ever even try

46 – Little Richard – The girl can’t help it (1956)
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she walks by, the men folks get engrossed,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she winks an eye, the bread slice turn to toast,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she got a lot, of what they call the most,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it, she was born to please,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
And if she's got, a figure made to squeeze,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
Won't you kindly be aware, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it,
If she mesmerizes, every mother's son,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she's smiling, beefsteak become well done,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
She makes grand pa feel like twenty one,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it, she was born to please,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
And if I go to her, on bended knees,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
Won't you kindly be aware, that I can't help it,
I can't help it,
Because I'm hoping, obviously,
That some day, the answer would be,
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it.

45 – Elvis Presley - Trying to get to you (1956)
A letra:
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
baby, trying to get to you
When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.
I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that I've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true
Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.

43 – Elvis Presley - I Want You, I Need You, I Love You (1956)
A letra:
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more
I thought I could live without romance
Before you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

42 – Little Richard – Ready Teddy (1956)
I'm ready, ready, ready to a rock'n'roll.
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie,
She's my rock'n'roll baby, she's the apple of my eye,
I'm ready, ...
All the flat top cats and the dungaree dolls,
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball,
The joint is really jumpin', the cats are going wild,
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style,
I'm ready, ...
Gonna kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans,
Grab my rock'n'roll baby, pour on the steam,
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right,
Gonna rock'n'roll to the early, early night,
I'm ready, ...

41 – Jerry Lee Lewis – Crazy arms (1956)
Someday crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new while
Your heart keeps sayin' your not mine not mine not
Mine not mine my troubled minds grows blue to
Another you'll be wed but now i'm so lonely all the time
Solo
Now take all those precious dreams i had for you
Dear and take all those love i thought was mine
Some day your crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now i 'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new while
My yearning heart keeps saying your not mine not
Mine not mine not mine my troubled mind goes blue
To another you'll be wed but now i'm so lonely all the time

39 - B.B. King – Sweet little angel (1956)
Em 1934, Tampa Red fez uma regravação e Robert Nighthawk em 1949, com Willie Dixon no baixo. Em 1950, Tampa Red fez uma segunda gravação e mudou a letra e o nome pra Sweet Little Angel. Em 1953, foi a vez de Earl Hooker grava-la, já como Sweet Little Angel.
A gravação, que é a que temos na lista, foi feita por B.B. King em 1956 e tornou-se um hit, atingindo o número 8 no Billboard R & B chart. Sweet Little Angel gravada por B.B. King está na lista das 500 canções que deram forma ao rock and roll, lista criada pelo rock and roll of fame museum.
A letra:
I got a sweet little angel,
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, I got a sweet little angel,
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, when she spread her wings around me,
I get joy in most everything
You know I asked my baby for a nickel,
And she gave me a twenty dollar bill
Oh, yes, I asked my baby for a nickel,
and she gave me a twenty dollar bill
You know I asked her for a little drink of liquor,
and she gave me a whiskey still!
Ah yes, asked my baby to quit me,
well, I do believe I will die
Yes, I asked my baby to quit me,
well, I do believe I will die
'Cause, if you don't love me little angel,
please, tell me the reason why.
