Most R & B rockabilly came from the south but from P.S. 109 in New York City came the Bobbetts,five girls aged 12 to 14 who made a splash with a squealing piece of nonsense about their principal called Mr. Lee

They followed with "I Shot Mr. Lee". Ever heard it? Wasn't quite the hit the first one was!

Thats all nice and I was around for all of it. But the best rock music was from late 60's to early 80's. Golden era for rock & roll.

Most Rock from the middle 60s to the 80s will go under Classic Rock and some will go under modern rock after that.
