Slow Tempo--Fast Tempo

Remember when you were a kid in the 1960's yes we played rock and roll records at their regular speed but when it came to our parent's country or classic music collection we played them at a faster speed (331/3 to 45 RPM or 45 RPM to 78 RPM.)until we grew up and realize they sounded great at their regular speeds.

Below is a slow jazzy version of the song "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do":

In the 1950's and 1960's there was a debate going on of what is country and what is rock and roll ,usually rock and roll music had choruses singing not actual words but something like "shooby shooby do bop, comma comma down, rama rama ding dong etc.But not always.

Below is a song that Carole King co-wrote and had it sung by Skeeter Davis a country singer, but it is not considered a country song since it has that "Shooby Shooby Do Bop" in the chorus and thus it is considered a rock and roll song:

Now when a parent or even a teenager even bought an LP an 12 inch record that had 5 or 6 songs on each side each song could be different genres. After all a good song is a good song.
