having twice posed this question without getting any response I have to assume biab doesnt include 50,s rock n roll styles which for me is very sad Frankie

Search the styles for Chuck (some realtracks), or Jerry I don't recall the songs you mention off the top of my head, but these may help.

You will find a lot of swing styles which will cover a lot of the 50's stuff. Any of the big band styles were popular back then. Other than Chuck Berry Styles and Jerry Lee Styles I found a Rip it Up Style under the rock Styles. If you sometimes look under the 50's artist's last name, like "Basie", although he was 40's and 50's, you'll find all you need, assuming you have all the BB styles. If not, you need to get them. And then there is Norton Music Styles. He can help you out also. Lots of luck.

Besides what David posted above, later tonight when I get back to my laptop I'll give you the name of a good style for Such A Night as I am working on that one now. But all in all I do a lot of 50's rock & roll and R&B and I find many styles that work well with those songs. Now they don't sound "exactly" like the record but, that is why I like BIAB in the 1st place, because they sound "just close enough" to the actual recording and feel but not like karaoke if you know what I mean.

So either send me a PM as a reminder or check back later and I will give you the Such A Night Style suggestion.

Later

I am working with "BOOGYSHF.STY Boogie Shuffle" I think you will find it captures the feel of Such A Night very well.

Good Luck,
