The Wayback Machine makes a stop in 1957 this time. Ray Charles released his very first album; Patsy Cline released her first single, which became an instant classic. Elvis was busy; he starred in his third film, Jailhouse Rock, and its theme song was number one in 10 countries. Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly were all over the radio, and gas was 31 cents a gallon. It's all 1957, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
