Was this a Fifties rock 'n' roller or a musician in Mayberry?

It takes a true Andy Griffith Show expert or rockabilly royalty to ace this one!

The Andy Griffith Show was about as musical as a sitcom can get without going full-blown Broadway. Sheriff Andy loved to pluck his guitar. Opie jammed in a band. Bluegrass pickers came down from the hills. Farmers had the voices of angels. Even Barney was in the choir (though his talent was questionable).

Fictional rock 'n' roll stars even passed through Mayberry.

Which got us thinking — can you tell the difference between a character from The Andy Griffith Show and a real-life rocker from the 1950s?

Try to sniff out the early rock stars and the TV folk!

C'mon MeTV, not a fair quiz. Why are the same pictures being shown for different musicians/actors? I had to pass on this one.

10 of 14. I got all the 50's bands but I guess I didn't pay much attention to The Mayberry bands and band members.

13 out of 14. Thought I knew my '50s musicians. Evidently, Keely Hazleton is someone I didn't know.

14/14 Although I will admit that a couple were lucky guesses. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket today.

Missed three. I guess that's because Jesus is my Rock and that's how I Roll! 😇🎶🎶

I've heard a song that says, "My feet are on the Rock and my name is on the Roll.
