Like automobiles, which appeared at roughly the same time, telephones had a massive impact on how we live from the very start. Not surprisingly, people sang about telephones almost as quickly as the devices appeared. Previous ‘Talkin’ on the Telephone’ collections have focused on hillbilly and R\u0026amp;B music (RWA 12524 and 12557). This long-awaited collection brings together Telephone Songs from the early days of rock \u0026amp; roll and teen pop music. Teenagers were becoming a force in the music business during the 1950s and rock \u0026amp; roll gave them a chance to sing about their newfound freedom. Talking on the telephone offered teenagers independence from parental oversight, and the birth of rock and roll gave them a chance to sing about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together some extremely rare and long-forgotten songs about what telephones meant to teenagers. Some of these artists, like Paul Anka, Brenda Lee and Chuck Berry, remain well-known today, nearly 70 years after they made these records. Others, like Lew Williams, Johnny Fallin and Bill Woods, have faded into near-total obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChantilly Lace - the Big Bopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If a Man Answers - Bobby Darin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bigelow 6-200 - Brenda Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Memphis Tennessee - Chuck Berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Hang Up - the Orlons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Operator - Johnny Burnette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Get You on the Phone - Mickey ; Sylvia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Phone Call - Billy Fury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Telephone Game - Claudine Clark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hello - the Nutmegs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Buzz Buzz a Diddle It - Freddy Cannon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bopper 486 009 - Donna Damron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tenneager's Talkin' on the Phone - Lew Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Line Was Busy - Big Bob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Just Thought I'd Call - Carl Perkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Got to Call That Number - Bobby Mitchell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Just Called Up to Say Goodbye - Johnny Burnette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hello Helo Baby - Jerry Lee Lewis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come on - Chuck Berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ring-A-My-Phone - Brenda Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Line Is Busy - Ron Holden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ring-A-My-Phone - Dinah Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ring My Phone - Tommy Sands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Party Line - Johnny Fallin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Here at My Phone - Mel Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beechwood 4-5789 - the Marvelettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Phone Me Baby - Bill Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kissin' on the Phone - Paul Anka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521908576530,"sku":"5397102175992","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-talking-on-the-telephone-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
