Teen Idols - Rock Legends
Available on Qello Concerts, Prime Video
Rock music played on 45s became the soundtrack to the 1960s as people bought what they heard on the radio. 1960s teens were increasingly appreciating and emulating artists closer to their own age, to teen fashion, and to lyrics which addressed their own concerns. Faces on magazines fed fans; fans buy records, see films, watch TV and buy fashions. The teen idol is structured to appeal to the pre-teen and young teen female pop audience member and children in general. They are relatively non-threatening and never appear to be autonomous and therefore never threatening as an adult. With Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vee and Bobby Darin
