''Rock, Rock, Rock!'' is a 1956 black-and-white motion picture featuring performances from a number of early rock 'n' roll stars, such as Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Teddy Randazzo, the Moonglows, the Flamingos, and the Teenagers with Frankie Lymon as lead singer. Later ''West Side Story'' cast member David Winters is also featured. Famed disc jockey Alan Freed made an appearance as himself. The voice of the main character (Dori Graham) was sung by Connie Francis. The movie has a fairly simple plot: teenage girl Dori Graham (played by then 13-year-old Tuesday Weld) can't convince her dad to buy her a strapless gown and has to get the money together herself in time for the prom. The soundtrack album, also titled ''Rock, Rock, Rock'', is nowadays widely regarded as Chuck Berry's first album.〔(Chuck Berry's Collector Guide )〕 Many of the artists featured in the film do not appear on the album, and only four songs on the album ("Over and Over Again," "I Knew From the Stars," "You Can't Catch Me," and "Would I Be Crying") actually appear in the film. In addition, "I Never Had a Sweetheart" and "Little Blue Wren" also appeared in the film and were sung by Connie Francis in her MGM Records single at the same time in 1956. Both Jack Collins and Valerie Harper (who makes a brief appearance as an extra in the crowd at the prom) made their film debut in ''Rock, Rock, Rock''. In 1984, the film entered the public domain (in the USA) due to the claimant's failure to renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication. ==Featured songs== *"Rock, Rock, Rock" -- Jimmy Cavallo & His House Rockers *"I Never Had A Sweetheart" -- Connie Francis *"The Things Your Heart Needs" -- Teddy Randazzo *"Rock, Pretty Baby" -- Ivy Schulman and the Bowties *"Rock & Roll Boogie" -- Alan Freed & His Rock & Roll Band w/"Big" Al Sears (saxophone) *"I Knew From The Start" -- The Moonglows *"You Can't Catch Me" -- Chuck Berry *"Would I Be Crying" -- The Flamingos *"The Big Beat"—Jimmy Cavallo & His House Rockers *"Thanks To You"—Teddy Randazzo (announced as Tommy Rodgers)〔from the movie〕 "The Wanderer" -- Dion and the Belmonts *"We're Gonna Rock Tonight"—The Three Chuckles With Teddy Randazzo〔 *"Little Blue Wren"—Connie Francis *"Rock, Rock, Rock"—Jimmy Cavallo & His House Rockers〔 *"Lonesome Train (On A Lonesome Track)" -- Johnny Burnette Trio *"Over and Over Again" -- The Moonglows *"Tra La La" -- Lavern Baker *"Ever Since I Can Remember" -- Cirino & the Bowties *"Baby Baby" -- Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers *"I'm Not A Juvenille Delinquent"—Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers *"Won't You Give Me A Chance"—Teddy Randazzo *"Right Now, Right Now"—Alan Freed & His Rock & Roll Band with "Big" Al Sears (saxophone) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rock, Rock, Rock (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
