Jumpin' with Excitement
These 27 musical clips help demonstrate the genre that not only created to Rock n' Roll (breaking down racial barriers in music and society -see white kids trying to imitate black jive dancing) but has jive dance groups still forming today, re-creating the style.So if you want to see and hear the musicians that influenced Fats Domino, Little Richard and Elvis Presley, here are many of them!
The clips have been digitally restored, providing good sound and pictures. Well worth viewing! -
