We continue our deep dive into the great—and often over-looked—Boy Groups of the mid-late 50’s and early-mid 60’s, focusing on the American male harmony groups of the early rock’n’roll era. These groups combined elements of pop, rock, doo wop, and even jazz, to create a sound that defied easy categorization. They competed successfully on the charts with Rockabilly, Surf Music, Soul Music and, of course, The British Invasion. Join us for an interesting, informative and fun course!
