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 made an appearance as himself. The voice of the main character (Dori Graham) was sung by Connie Francis.

The movie has a fairly simple plot: teenage girl Dori Graham (played by then 13-year-old Tuesday Weld) can't get 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 to be Chuck Berry's first album [ [http://www.crlf.de/ChuckBerry/chessupto1966.html Chuck Berry's Collector Guide] ] . Many of the artists featured in the film do not appear on the album, and only 4 songs on the album ("Over and Over Again," "I Knew From the Stars," "You Can't Catch Me," and "Would I Be Crying") actually appear in the film.

Trivia

* Both Jack Collins and Valerie Harper (who makes a brief appearance as an extra in the crowd at the prom) made their film debut in "Rock, Rock, Rock" .
