The era of Teel Idols began in the late 1950s with the explosive combination of the birth of Rock and Roll and television. A crop of smooth crooners and raunchy rockers drove teens wild with their angst ridden songs. The first batch of Teen Idols left an indelible mark on both the recording industry and television, establishing a creative path that is still well-traveled today.
Many of the performances featured on this video were recorded at the Rock 'n Roll Palace in Orlando, Florida. However, there are a few that have been compiled from the film Rock! Rock! Rock!.
