Wie Dieter anfangs bereits erwähnt hat, entstand "Sweet Sue" von Victor Young mit Text von Will J. Harris bereits im Jahre 1928, dürfte aber nach wie vor populär wie eh und je sein. Forumsmäßig habe ich mich aber auf jene zwei Perioden konzentriert, die aufgrund meiner subjektiven Meinung die eigentliche Basis dieses Forums sein sollten. Das ist vorerst die Rocknroll-Ära, einschließlich ihrer subjektiven Übergangszeit zum Beat, und das ist ab dem Jahre 1949 die Entwicklung der Vinyl-Single, die etwas später nicht unwesentlich mit der Entstehung des Rocknroll zusammenhing.
Die folgende chronologische Aufstellung der Vinyl-Singles beginnt ganz "historisch" mit einer "Ur-Vinyl-Single" von COLUMBIA, allerdings noch mit 33 1/3 RPM. Erst etwa im März 1949 begann RCA Victor mit den 45 RPM-Singles, die sich dann letztendlich auch allgemein durchsetzten.
