History of Music

The history of Toronto's music is based on a rich, famous, or semi-popular music scene, starting from the
1950s in several genres and backgrounds. Yonge Street remained a popular venue for rock 'n' roll, R&B,
Calypso, and jazz from 1957 to 65. Many halls were welcoming the musicians to perform. That is where
Hawkins, with his band, has recorded the Hawks, big fish in a small pond, and dubbed his promised land.
Hawkin was practicing rock 'n' roll earlier sound in those days. (Dovercourt, J., 2020).

shows, balls, orchestras, theatres, and wedding parties. (John, E. Z. l988). In the 19th-century, there was a
