- Summary
- "Rock On" is the most comprehensive and authoritative work ever produced on rock n' roll. Oldie expert Norm N. Nite has compiled an exhaustive array of data on over 1,000 of the most popular artists of the fifties and early sixties. Any singer who had a top 100 single during the golden days of rock n' roll can be found in this book. Nite spent over five years gathering, from the stars themselves, details of their recording careers, birthdates, hometowns, and other personal data heretofore unavailable elsewhere. His book goes behind the scenes to ferret out the real stories of the solid gold years of rock. In addition to his extensive coverage of rock n' roll, Nite also includes the outstanding country, popular, and novelty artists of the period to help the reader get a feel for all the musical strains that graced the rock era. "Rock On", illustrated by 350 classic photos of the stars in their heyday, will be welcomed and acclaimed by serious rockophiles as well as casual fans of popular music as the standard work on rock. -- From publisher's description.
