LEGENDS
Theres Jerry Lee with his "Great Balls of Fire",
Jackie Wilson getting "Higher&Higher",
Elvis Presely with his "Suspisious Mind"
and Little Richard with his "Fruity"find
,Eddie Cochran used every hour on the clock with his rocking & rolling and tickety tock
,Dion was keeping away from that "Sue" as he was "Wandering" at the same time too.
The Shirrelles were upset as "The Leader"had gone
,replaced in the charts with the crazy "Hoots Mon"
.Hopping,Rocking & shaking the pelvis
lip curlingly cute the legend"Elvis"
.Mr Lewis could play that piano eyes shut,
remove his hands & carry on with his foot.
The icons & legends who gave heart & there soul for that decade of dance we call Rock&Roll
