Rock, Rock, Rock! is a 1956 black-and-white motion picture featuring performances from a number of early rock 'n' roll stars, such as Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Teddy Randazzo, The Moonglows, The Flamingos, and The Teenagers with Frankie Lymon as lead singer. Future West Side Story cast member David Winters is also featured. Famed disk jockey Alan Freed makes an appearance as himself. The voice of the main character was sung by Connie Francis. The movie has a fairly simple plot: teenage girl Dori Graham can't convince her dad to buy her a strapless gown and has to get the money together... herself in time for the prom. The soundtrack album, also titled Rock, Rock, Rock, is nowadays widely regarded as Chuck Berry's first album. Many of the artists featured in the film do not appear on the album, and only four songs on the album actually appear in the film. Both Jack Collins and Valerie Harper made their film debut in Rock, Rock, Rock.
