Fantastic..That man Milborn is swinging!!

[takoma5]

Absolutely fantastic, 1st time i see this clip...Thx Jiveafterfive

[stratocat9999]

My favorite Amos Milburn song! Great video, but it really seems sedate compared to the record. The record sounds like they're blowin' the roof off, and Amos is shouting hard. But this is great being able to actually see him perform the song! Cheers!

[duncanstpt]

They sure wore nice suits.

[PaulHWilliamsEstate]

The Paul Williams band did a good job accompanying Amos Milburn.

[thegunclub123]

Yeah, this one's got that Christmas feel as well. I can imagine listen to it while pickin out a tree.

[RagnarRollo]

[TheSunRecords]

[knobstick]

That's Paul Williams on the baritone sax, and the great Noble 'Thin Man' Watts on tenor, he could really take off given a chance!

[ChristerDahlback]

They did rock n roll B4ore they knew it!

[Cadillac1956]

Rock N Roll was Rhythm & Blues before the name change in the mid-50s, for racial reasons.

[AntiSocialChannel85]

@Cadillac1956

There was no real rock in the 50's it started in the 70's with Hendrix

[Cadillac1956]

@AntiSocialChannel85 Sorry, but you are totally wrong. Rock and Roll IS from the 1950s. Jimi Hendrix? Give me a break! That's not Rock and Roll! It's Acid Rock, like all the late 60s crap.

[AntiSocialChannel85]

@Cadillac1956

They didn't even plaid electric guitar, Psychedelic rock is just a name they gave because of the 60's and 70's life style, just like grunge is rock.

[Cadillac1956]

@AntiSocialChannel85 Who didn't even "plaid" electric guitar? If you're talking about in the 1950s, well, you're totally wrong again. The electric guitar is ALL OVER '50s Rock N Roll. And NO, Psychodelic Rock is a music style. Now go do your research before saying anything.

[AntiSocialChannel85]

@Cadillac1956

Rhythm & Blues is not rock and roll

[Cadillac1956]

@AntiSocialChannel85 Yes it is. The blacks called it Rhythm & Blues, and Cleveland disc jockey, Alan Freed changed it's name to Rock n' Roll to make the music cross the race barrier of those times.

Look it up.

[josephnathanscott]

Boogie piano goes back to the '10s. The big change during '47-'49 was a fad for songs that had lyrics about rocking and/or rolling _and_ had backbeat through most of the song, e.g. "Rock The Joint" by Jimmy Preston, "Jumpin' At The Jubilee" by Big Joe Turner, and "Boogie At Midnight" by Roy Brown. That was a going fad with artists emulating each other (e.g. "Boogie At Midnight" quotes rocking the joint from the slightly earlier "Rock The Joint") before Alan Freed got interested in it.

Still playing this great music today! Right in Rhode Island in the U.S.A.

[ThomasDeLello]

Those are all examples of the style of blues that was produced in Kansas City... where the blues found it's most sophisticated form. I am not sure in Louis Jurdan was from there though.

[haleyfan]
