Rock & Roll 4 1948 / Various Rock & Roll 4 1498 / Various CD

(2-CD set) Throughout 1948 the Cold war did not appear to dampen the ardour of American dancers, whether white or black. They were bopping and swinging their partners around, throwing them above their heads, between their legs - perhaps not yet really rocking, but one little roll would be enough to transform what was already a frenzy into a tornado. With this boxed set featuring both familiar and more obscure 1948 titles, you can tap your foot in time with American history.
