In 1958 a Los Angeles DJ named Art Laboe coined the term “Oldies But Goodies.” Art had a great idea – why not put all the rock and roll records that teenagers really loved on one LP. That was the very first Oldies But Goodies album and it made rock and roll history. Now, Time Life offers the Ultimate Oldies But Goodies music collection. This oldies collection includes 8 Oldies But Goodies CDs plus two absolutely FREE CDs with 30 songs, totaling 10 CDs with 158 songs and a 32 page booklet.

Fronted by Johnny Lande Norwegian hard rock and heavy metal singer. Known for being the former vocalist of bands Ark, Beyond Twilight, Millenium, Vagabond, The Snakes, and most notably of power metal band Masterplan, as well as for his solo career as Jorn.
In the late 1950s, the Doo Wop era began in a small subway arcade shop located beneath the Walgreen's Drug Store at Broadway and 42nd Street in New York City.

One of his favorite stops was a costume jewelry store that strangely enough, also sold records - twenty for a dollar.
