Frankie Davidson - Probably Australia's longest running ( & still active ) recording star with this great big band version of the Bill Haley hit song "Rock A Beatin' Boogie". Backing by Max Bostocks Orchestra.
Frankie Davidson was a popular singer in the mid fifties playing many dances around Melbourne at venues like the Ziegfeld Palais. In July 1956 he fronted the Max Bostock danceband and entered the studios to record his take on the Bill Haley song "Rock A Beatin' Boogie". The backing betrays the bands jazz roots but the vocal from Frankie rocks from start to finish. Frankie had heard Bill Haley's records before cutting this making it the earliest rock record produced in Australia influenced by its American cousins. Note: Yes: this was one of the earliest Rock 'n' Roll tracks recorded in Australia preceded only by Vic Sabrino's - "Rock Around The Clock" - Pacific Records - August - 1955 .
