He covers the trajectories of the big name acts like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Ray Charles, while also filling in gaps of knowledge and celebrating forgotten heroes such as the Burnette brothers, the "5" Royales, and Marion Keisker, Sam Phillips's assistant, who played an integral part in launching Elvis's career. 517 $aHistory of Rock & Roll, The 700 $aWard$b Ed$01438474 702 $aColacci$b David$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150601403321 996 $aHistory of Rock & Roll, The : Volume 1: 1920-1963$93599826 997 $aUNINA
