You guys have an odd defintion of rock and roll back there.
Rock obviously meant something different on the west coast.

Ok, here's the acid test. (pun intended)

Which would you rather *dance* to.....

I don't dance but if I did it would be to their early pop songs.

BTW: R&R started in Cleveland, not on the west coast. ;-)- Hide

Rock 'n Roll was born in Memphis Tennesee, on March 3, 1951. That's
the day that Sam Phillips recorded Ike Turner's "Rocket 88"- a 12 bar
blues that discographers generallly agree was the first actual rock 'n
roll record. The record was credited to Jackie Brentson and his Delta
Cats, but it was really Ike Turner's band and Jackie Brentson was his
sax player.

Bill Haley recorded a version of Rocket 88 in June of '51. Back in the
highly segregated early 50's, it was OK to buy a Bill Haley record in
a lot of places where it wouldn't be considered proper to buy a
recording by Ike Turner, so Bill Haley (who did Rock Around The Clock
a couple of years later) had a bit more commercial success with his
record, at this point, than did Ike Turner.

So that's the Memphis version. Thank Sam Phillips and Sun Records for
rock 'n roll, IMO.

What's Cleveland's claim to fame?

Rock music wasn't invented on the west coast, merely perfected here.
:-) The world is still waiting for somebody to top Seattle's own Jimi
Hendrix. :-) :-)

Outta here for the weekend.....

Have a good one!


What...no kisses & hugs?


XOXOXOXOX

How's that? Feel better?

No.. I'm appalled, but I'm sure Chuck appreciates your thoughts.


BTW, JimH wished Chuck a good weekend also. You might want to send a
smart-assed comment in his direction.

:)


JimH doesn't puppy dog anyone.
