| I cooked this one up this mroning, in answer to the question "Who were the best seeling group of the 1950's?" What do you think of it? Any good? - In 1955, just after "Rock Around the Clock" was released by Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley had his audition with Sun records. He impressed one Colonel Parker, who signed him up immediately. At his audition, Elvis sang a song called "That's alright Mama", and a cover of "Pensylvania 6-5000", but Colonel Parker didn't think that those songs had mass appeal. On November 12th, 1955, Marvin Berry made a phone call to his cousin Chuck about the exciting new sound that he had heard a student perform at a senior prom, Chuch began work on a song that would rock music to it's core (no pun intended). In political news, the Korean war wasn't going too well, the 40-77 hospital was understaffed and desperately needed some money, Little Richard heard about this and rang Chuck Berry, explaining about the Soldiers' plight. They wrote a song together, called "Suicide is painless", and asked Colonel parker if he knew someone who could appear on the record. The Colonel suggested Elvis, and also roped in a few others who were on the Sun label, including a teenager called John Lennon (and his band, called "the Quarrymen"). Through some wrangling, the fledgling Motown label was also involved, and offered the talents of Stevie Wonder and the Supremes. This charity single was recorded in secret on March 16th, 1957. However, when the time came for it to be released, the record producers thought they would sel more using a new technique they called "Subliminal Sound". Basically, the record would be transmitted in a frequency that only the subconscious could register. This would have the effect of making people compelled to buy more copes of the record. Because of this new technique, the track could be placed on the same disk as any song of their choosing. The record bosses saw this as an opportunity to sell records so they put it on EVERY song. (and every song since, see below) Therefore making this track by this 50's "Supergroup" the best selling one of the 50's. In the late 50's the Big Bopper stumbled onto this plan and whilst on a tour of America he clued in his friends, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. They all perished in a plane crash in Feb 1959. Some artists have been subliminally influenced by the track, in fact the Manic Street preachers actually released the track. Richie Edwards did some research and found the sordid secret. He dissappeared a few weeks later and has never been found since. When Mp3's were invented, the Record Producers found to their horror that the compression technique eliminated this hidden subliminal track, and therefore expend all their energies to outlaw Mp3's and keep their hold onto "Subliminal Sound" and the best selling song of all time. |
