Thanks to Firedog for sharing these!
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

...and is still heard on fine Oldies stations everywhere. If they play the '50s to any depth.

He is often viewed as a "one hit wonder", but "Heartaches By The Number" was #1 for 2 weeks over Christmas 1959. And "Rock-A-Billy" hit #10 in 1957. Before the "Rock Era", "My Heart Cries For You" and "My Truly, Truly Fair" were both #2 in 1951.
