Rare Vintage Photos of What Life Was Like in the ’50s
Teens Listened to Records and Liked Singers Such as Elvis Presley
Radio disc jokey Dean Calgano did just one show a week, but he had a large teen audience. He’s pictured here with a stack of records in 1955. The smaller records, 45s, were officially introduced to the public in 1949 with the following genres: folk and country, blues and rhythm, pop, classical, and international music.
Popular music of the ’50s included Dean Martin, Perry Como, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, and Harry Belafonte. Records have made a comeback for vintage enthusiasts, but these days most people prefer listening to music on streaming radio stations.

I also had a record player in the 1950s in my bedroom to listen to records likely starting around age 9 years old. I also had a .22 rifle hanging in a gun rack in my room by age 8 with bullets hidden (from smaller children) high in my closet. I also had a yellow Transistor Radio invented after Roswell (or during 1947) which I also have thought was interesting that that was when transistors should up exactly the same time as Roswell in 1947.
