Playlist:

1. MOVIN’ & GROOVIN’, Duane Eddy (1958)

It's a highlight of the earlier "Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel" LP of
course but we in UK had to wait till 1960 to get "Moovin' And
Groovin'"on a 45 when London made it the UK flipside of "Bonnie Came
Back"

2. DON’T BE ANGRY, Nappy Brown (1955)

My #1 favorite by him. Super rare on the UK London issue sold on eBay
recently for close on £1,000

5. MY BABY LEFT ME, Elvis Presley (1956)

One of the great Crudup numbers revived by Elvis and a sure 10 on my
1956 favorites list

6. JAMBALAYA, Brenda Lee (1960)

If its 1960 then I guess its the later LP version with Boots Randolph
(sax) in attendance.It's okay but but I prefer the original 1956 cut
with Grady Martin and released as "Little Brenda Lee"

19. HEART AND SOUL, Jan & Dean (1961)

I prefer the Cleftones version from the same year but J&D's
ba-ba-bomp-bomp version ain't too shabby either and both grace my 1961
faves list

21. MIDGIE, Jack Scott (1959)

Date here should be 1958 (on the "Jack Scott" LP that year) and issued
as one half of a great single in 1959---"The Way I Walk"/"Midgie"

23. I’LL BE HOME, The Flamingos (1956)

Unfortunately not released here in UK so I had to make my first
acquaintance with "I'll Be Home" via the dreaded Pat Boone cover version
(that reached #1 on the charts here)

25. MY TRUE STORY, The Jive Five (1961)

Terrific record but sad one that always reminds me of a friend in heaven
Marcia Vance

27. I WONDER WHY, Dion & The Belmonts (1958)

Has to be in the running for best all-white 1950's vocal group record
ever made

28. HE’S SO FINE, The Chiffons (1963)

"Doo lang doo lang doo lang.......". What else is there to say?

29. HIDE AND GO SEEK, Bunker Hill (1962)

Great frantic Little Richard-plus number. Check out his equally wild
"The Girl Can't Dance" included in the recent 1963 episode of "10
Faves..." on here

34. CRAZY MAN CRAZY, Bill Haley & The Comets (1953)

The first Bill Haley record to reach the main Billboard chart and the
first to get ab UK release.

37. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, The Platters (1958-59)

After Ray's "Georgia On My Mind" this is my #2 pick for best ever
revival of an old standard by an act from our time period

39. EVERYBODY’S TRYING TO BE MY BABY, Carl Perkins (1957)

Here's the 1936 "not-quite-original-version" that Carl "borrowed" a line
or three from :-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYx7doEJuZk

40. AIN’T GOT NO HOME, Clarence “Frogman” Henry (1956-57)

GREAT original version by The Frogman and his best ever record!!

44. TONITE TONITE, The Mello-Kings (1957)

Here's the Mello Kings with this number from the poverty row British
made rock 'n' roll movie "Sweet Beat"
in 1959. Several other US acts (all from Al Silver's Herald-Ember
company) appear in the movie including the Five Satins (tho only four
Satins show up here!)

46. SLEEP WALK, Santo & Johnny (1959)

Decried by some as Hawaiian musak or elevator crap I liked this one back
then and I still like it today.
Get over it!

Not "some."  Just Bruce.  Have you ever met anyone else who didn't
like it?

I did an instrumental survey with a few friends back in 2015, and this
was my top 10.

It'd probably be slightly different today.

Bill Doggett    Honky Tonk
Freddie King    Hideaway
Booket T & The MGs    Green Onions
Lonnie Mack    Memphis
Santo & Johnny    Sleep Walk
Elmore James    Country Boogie
Mar Keys    Last Night
Bill Justice    Raunchy
Ernie Freeman    Raunchy
Jefferson Airplane    Embryonic Journey

Yes over the years I've met several folk (mostly here in UK) who didn't
care for it. That never changes anything with me. I like what I like and
that's all there is to it :)

Do you actually believe in heaven, or are you just using an expression
here?

I don't hear Little Richard at all. It's a Bo Diddley sound all the way
IMO.

37. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, The Platters (1958-59)

After Ray's "Georgia On My Mind" this is my #2 pick for best ever
revival of an old standard by an act from our time period

I'd go with "White Cliffs Of Dove" by the Checkers for that honor.

I like the expression but I don't really believe in it

I'm anti-religious I'm afraid I think ALL of them are wrong in their
teachings and the religion I was baptised under (C Of E) is the MOST
wrong since it was devised and created on the whim of one man---a tyrant English King---just so he could get to legally screw the woman he
currently had eyes for

I take a a scientific approach and believe 100% in the universe of

Many of the above songs are of a similar style, mid-tempo chugging
along R&B, if you like one you're going to like the others. A roughly
similar sound is "Plantation Boogie" by Lenny Dee, from 1955.

My desert island top 10, if I had a specific top 10, would have more
variety, it would include orchestral, surf, garage, jazz, exotica.
