Thanks for posting this single by the Five Dreams, Charles, previously unknown to me, and perhaps their only release. The single was reviewed favorably in Billboard on July 15, 1957, as follows: "The group does nicely with a rhythmically interesting opus that combines elements of rock 'n roll vocalizing and Latin-flavored percussion work. The song has a catchy quality. Neat teen quality." Source: 45cat.org Some have speculated that the composer (and perhaps the singer on this track), James Churchwell, may have been the artist who later recorded "Can't I Have Me Some You - Parts 1 and 2" on the Ware label as (Screamin') Jimmy Churchwell in November of 1965. I found this reference from the Indianapolis Recorder (April 26, 1958) that could be about the same artist: "
YOUNG VOCALIST . . . James E. Churchwell is one of Noptown's youngest rock 'n' roll singers, who really is on the upbeat in local musical circles . . . The young man is a former church singer and is making a bid for the big time in song. He'll appear on the bill at School 64 this Friday evening, under the sponsorship of the school's PTA. newspapers.library.in.gov/?a=d&d=INR19580426-01.1.13&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------
I have a wrong conception of the late 50's and early 60's representing "50's music." Perhaps earlier 50's would do justice to that claim? Except I'm not familiar with earlier 50's music.
this is what truly defined the generation. This is when music became really big. Yes, In the early 50s music sounded similar to late 50s pieces but There were different genres. It became less jazzy as time went by. My favorite early 50s artist is wynonie harris.
