This 10 CD-BOX presents the impressive “Next Generation” following in the footsteps of well-established Rock & Roll stars such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, Little Richard and Fats Domino. Having presented nine successful stars (Ricky Nelson - Paul Anka - Fabian - Frankie Avalon - Neil Sedaka - Tommy Roe Kris Jensen - Bobby Rydell - Ritchie Valens) on a previous box-set ("Teenage Idols" 2016 / # 600350), this selection offers the next fourteen successful "youngsters" at the tail end of the Rock & Roll era: Brian Hyland - Dion & The Belmonts - Dion Di Mucci - Ray Peterson - Johnny Tillotson - Bobby Rydell - Buzz Clifford - Carl Dobkins Jr. - Buddy Knox - Jimmy Clanton - Johnny Restivo - Bobby Vee - Kalin Twins - Del Shannon. Their music might not be as rocking as early Rock & Roll, but it also has its charm. The rankings on the Billboard charts (numbers next to the titles) also show the success of these performers. There are also quite a few bonus tracks, showing that there are a number of outstanding chart-successes by these performers up to the year 1962.
