You just can’t beat jamming songs like “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and His Comets. Of course, 1950s also brought us Elvis Presley and such songs as “Hound Dog” and “Don’t be Cruel.” I imagine the days when you could put a quarter in a jukebox and select three tunes. It’s fun to visit an establishment like a hamburger joint that has a 1950s theme. The waitresses all wear poodle skirts just like the ones that were popular at the time. If you’re lucky, you can arrive on a night when the waitresses get together for a fun dance routine. Your toes will be tapping and your body will be moving in time to the song that plays. Besides poodle skirts, women also wore Rockabilly dresses that had daring necklines for the day and ended below the knees. Men would rock out to Jerry Lee Lewis singing “Great Balls of Fire” and other 1950s music wearing Levi’s denim shirts. Because westerns were so popular in the 1950s, men wore western styles that included long sleeves, a spread collar and pearl buttons on the front. If I could think of one word to describe the clothing of the 1950s, that word would be modest. Clothes were not as revealing as they are today. Forget what you see in popular movies that idolize the 1950s such as “Grease.” The clothing the actors wear are an interpretation of what people wore in the 1950s and have little or no basis in reality. One of the most popular female artists of the 1950s was Doris Day. She won an Oscar for her song “Whatever Will Be, Will be (Que Sera, Sera)” from the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Man Who Knew Too Much, which won an Oscar. You can learn a lot about 1950s fashion by watching James Stewart in his sharp business suit with a hat and Doris Day in a smart professional outfit. If you’ll excuse me now, I need to do the Twist. ### My YouTube Channel Information Subscribe to my channel: https://goo.gl/Ywk71f My most recent upload: https://goo.gl/rY5eSK My most popular upload: https://goo.gl/YUCtio ### Acknowledgements This presentation contains images that were used under a Creative Commons License.
