 Though the film was released in 1959, the artists that appear  perform their songs from early 1958 and not the hit tunes advertised  to be in the film, as was often the case in Alan Freed films.  "Donna" by Ritchie Valens, "Lonely Teardrops" by Jackie Wilson, "I  Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos, and "Just A Dream" by  Jimmy Clanton, (huge hits that are now Rock ‘n’ Roll standards from  the summer of 1958 through the end of the year) were all missing  from the film.
