Re: The Secret Boomer Hop...
Here's an R'n'B and Blues double
Long term Fats Domino conspirator - Dave Bartholomew - with some tilting, double-entendre laden R'n'B stroll
And this one was apparently covered by someone or something called Jethro Tull ( I honestly wouldn't have a clue what he/they sound like - bit too modern for me )...but here's the doctor spreading the boogie disease

Re: The Secret Boomer Hop...
Great thread this.
Really shows that all our heroes are just blatant rip offs of hundreds and hundreds of much lesser known trailblazers.

Re: The Secret Boomer Hop...
I mostly know Ain't She Sweet as something the Pre-Fab Four recorded with Tony Sheridan, though it was a kind of 'standard' that I was aware of growing up. The Lew Williams number was something this bloke we used to know as 'Pipe Man' used to dance to constantly. He used to smoke a Sherlock Holmes pipe ...often whilst dancing
Here's Mickie Most and The Gear - That's Alright - 1964.
This fella was the Simon Cowell of his day and used to be a judge on New Faces, IIRC (unless there was two of them).
As they say on Youtube - "The Rapiers brought me here".
And Blakey Records

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I remember Mickey Most (showing my age)
and also Tony Hatch (who wrote the CROSSROADS theme and SUGAR & SPICE for the Searchers!)
was on that show - he always looked a smug git to me.
One from 1963.

Wanda Jackson - 1961 - Funnel of Love
Tucked away on the B side of a fairly, unremarkable C+W number.

Re: The Secret Boomer Hop...
1964 - She's Walking Away - Dickey Lee
If the Everly Brothers were a bit Mod/Beat Boom and vaguely psychedelic ??? The start of it actually reminds me of the Monkees "Stepping Stone"

Re: The Secret Boomer Hop...
1964 - Nothin Shakin - Billy Fury
Liverpool's very own Ronnie Wycherley belting out a 'beat' version of the Eddie Fontaine classic. Billy/Ron, recorded some of the primest cuts of British rock and roll in 1959/1960 and what is widely recognised as the first British 'rockabilly' LP with his own self-penned Sound of Fury album, featuring cockney picker Joe Brown on lead guitar, before becoming a very successful balladeer between 1961-1965.
related fact. The only time I ever saw Billy live was not long before his death in the early 1980s. He picked the half time raffle winner at White Hart Lane in a Spurs v West Ham derby match.

Double bubble from Steve Alaimo - a '59 rockabilly rumbler followed by some 1966 soul.
