Cleveland DJ Tommy Edwards was also an amatuer photographer who took more than a few great shots that most people have never seen. These here a great version of pictures that have made the rounds quite a bit but never in full frame and as high quality. They're just two of many located by by Chris Kennedy and now in a new book, see story.

Hmm pomeade was very popular... Elvis is too young for those godawful sideburns...Bill Haley is too old for cowlicks. From a fashion standpoint Elvis could fit right in with todays hairstyles sort of timeless that way.

Amazing! King Creole!

When I read the heading "when Rock lost its innocence" I thought you'd be posting pix of the Stone's infamous Altamont concert where members of Hell's Angels murdered a fan right in front of the stage.A lot of people figured that was the seminal event that ended the age of innocence-the polar opposite to Woodstock and Flower Power.
