A very wide range of music and musicians mark the 50's. It was much more then the Elvis Presley years (but the King was a big part of that era. Here are a few names and styles that marked those years: * Johnny Ray (Cry). * Doris Day (Secret Love). * Dean Martin (Wow). * Buddy Holly (Peggy Sue). * Teresa Brewer (Till I Waltz Again with You). * Pat Boone (Love Letters in the Sand). * Patti Page (Tennessee Waltz). * Nat King Cole (Dream a Little Dream). * Les Paul and Mary Ford (How High the Moon). * Four Aces (Love is a Many Splendored Thing). * Chuck Berry (Maybellene). * Fats Domino (I'm Walking). Harry Belafonte brought calypso to the scene and musicals like Guys and Dolls, The King and I, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, and West Side Story became icons. The Grand Ole Opry, Your Hit Parade and American Bandstand provides an ever changing tableau of Artists and Styles on a weekly basis.

Answer 4

In the 50s music was obtained mostly either from the radio, or from record players. 78rpm were common, but 45s and 331/3 arrived soon. There were plenty of old mechanical gramophones in use, playing 78s.

And of course, there were concerts, movies, orchestral, and so on.

Portable radios were becoming relatively common, but the shortages of materials and facilities resulting from the Great Depression, and then WWII both took decades to overcome.

Tape recorders only arrived in the mid-50s, but were expensive, and uncommon.
