Description: Master 'shout blues' artist Big Joe Turner marks another high point of his career here with "Shake, Rattle & Roll." Although Bill Haley's later sanitized version became a top rock-n-roller hit, it's said many folks sought out Turner's version instead. A pivotal figure in popularizing blues, jazz, classic R&B, and rock and roll, Turner's career lasted from the 1920's busking on the streets of Kansas City through the 1980's at the most lauded jazz festivals in America and Europe.

coolhandjones ::: Favorites You don't really know anything about rock and roll.. anyway, black people stole melodies and songs from each other constantly. Elvis really had an awesome version and black people loved him.. Chuck Berry loved him, too. 07-07-11 18:49:54 _____________________________________________________
JosephNScott ::: Favorites "Elvis is just an impersonator, fake ass thief!!" Most of Elvis's stuff from "Heartbreak Hotel" to "Don't Be Cruel" to "Surrender" to "Suspicious Minds" didn't sound much like Joe at all, and those four songs didn't sound much like each other, either. You might as well call the great Wynonie Harris a "thief" if you think that way, because he emulated Joe more closely. 07-07-15 16:39:54 _____________________________________________________
