50s Teener Rock And Roll - Song from the movie "The Golden Disc" ( also known as "The In-Between Age" ) is a 1958 British musical film.
It features pop singer Terry Dene as himself in a story in which he tops the best-seller charts, whereas in his real life he never made the top ten.
The film was directed by Don Sharp, who was married to the leading lady Mary Steele.
Terry Dene (born Terence Williams) was one of the most promising Rock And Rollers of pre-Beatles England.
With a recording contract with Decca UK and a regular spot on BBC-TV's first pop television show, Six 5 Special, Dene seemed to be on the verge of stardom.
His first three singles reached the British Top 20.
Dene's potential for success was severely damaged, however, by a series of self-imposed mishaps.
Arrested for public drunkenness and vandalism in 1958, Dene was cited by the British media as an example of the "Evil" of Rock And Roll.
His mental health was considered to have plummeted after being drafted into the British national service.
Discharged on psychological grounds after two months, he found his career in ruins.
Although he appeared in a film, The Golden Disc, and joined Larry Parnes' stable of stars, he was unable to recapture the momentum and faded from the pop scene.
