1950s Music – The Great Divide Music Appreciation

Compare the music. In the 1950s, many parents and people of the older generation were listening to artists like, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and big bands. The younger generation were listening to artists like Elvis, Little Richard, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Compare and contrast How would you describe the difference? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmQq6y Le2ww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj0Rz- uP4Mk Discuss.

Sinatra’s View of Rock “Rock and roll is the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression — lewd, sly, in plain fact, dirty — a rancid-smelling aphrodisiac and the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth.” – Frank Sinatra (1957)

Music of Rebels? Rock and roll sent shockwaves across America. A generation of young teenagers collectively rebelled against the music their parents loved.

The Devil’s Music? In general, the older generation loathed rock and roll. Appalled by the new styles of dance the movement evoked, churches proclaimed it Satan's music.

Banned Rock and roll records were banned from many radio stations and hundreds of schools. But the masses spoke louder. When Elvis appeared on TV's The Ed Sullivan Show, the show's ratings soared.

Discussion Do you like the same music as your parents and or grandparents? Do you think that the music you enjoy today will be looked down upon by your children? Why or why not? Do you think that there are stereotypes against certain music today? Explain.
