Most people consider the first rock and roll song to be "Rocket 88" by Ike Turner, Recorded at Sun Records in 1951. But, this is a good song none the less.
@zuidwijker66 "I think Hank Williams recorded the first Rock and Roll song- Move it on over is the title of it." I think "Tupelo Junction" by Milt Buckner from '46 sounds more like '50s rock and roll than "Move It On Over" from '47 does. Neither has lyrics about rocking and rolling. Hank ever used backbeat, but he never participated in the fad for singing about rocking over backbeat, which was popularized by hits by Wynonie Harris, Bill Moore, and Jimmy Preston during '48-'49.
Blues & Hillbilly music have equal claims to the birth of Rock'n'Roll,it is a mixture of many styles & the Blues siners were as influenced by white music just as much as white music was influenced by black.
@HepCatmobile "Blues & Hillbilly music have equal claims to the birth of Rock'n'Roll" Some people like to say that, but really all the secular recordings from before December 1949 that have lyrics about rocking and backbeat percussion through most of the song -- such as "Rock The Joint" by J. Preston, "Rock And Roll" by B. Moore, "Rock That Boogie" by J. Smith, "Boogie At Midnight" by R. Brown, and "We're Gonna Rock This Morning" by D. Dickens -- were by "black" bands.
"'We're Gonna Rock This Morning' by D. Dickens" Correction -- although multiple sources say it was recorded in '49, looks to me like the sources that say it was recorded in '51 are correct, as opposed to Dickens' "Rock And Roll," which was recorded in '49.
Maybe it's the first Rhythm n Blues song, but it doesn't sound very Rock n Roll. The first song to sound REALLY like Rock n Roll is Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets, 1955.
@54markl Whel bill Haley never recorded a song SOUNDING like rock n roll if you lsten to late 40s and early 50s R&B.... listen to Tiny Bradshaw, Smiley Lewis, Louis Jordan or Big Maybelle among many others....
says who? sounds like a blues to me....it has a rhythm and blues edge to it...but still a country blues type song. Its just advertising it as "1st rock and roll song" is a bit sensationalist / presumptive. Thats all. Nothing against the great Charlie Patton.
@glueforall I certainly agree with what your saying. But if this song was sped up, it would totally sound like a rockabilly song which is Rock and Roll. But at the speed that it's at, I totally agree with you. This song would make a good rock song if it was played at a faster speed without the chipmunk vocals of course.
Go to the Museum of Rock and Soul in Memphis, TN. It's just off Beale St.. There you will see the whole story unfold on how white and black music merged and fused.
You can also make a trip to Sun Studios, Where not on "Rocket 88" was recorded, but Elvis' career was born.
I have been to Memphis twice and both are mandatory stops for me.
That's the thing about music...it's open to conjecture and interpretation. It's widely considered that the first 'R&R' song was Rocket 88, recorded by Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm in 1951. I have the 'History of Rock and Roll' on tape and it's roots are in blues, r&b, country, jazz, gospel and old 'negro spirituals' going as far back as the days of slavery. (Yeah, there are historians who look and consider that far back). MANY elements contributed to what became known as 'Rock & Roll'.
I think that's just a blues song. Early rock and roll was based on the blues but sounded much different. The first song I ever heard that sounded like Rock and roll came from the 40s.
Dorians a little over-enthusiastic about this song; maybe it is her favorite. But, by my listening of Charley, he's got lots of other equally if not better songs all precursor to rock(i like to say the blues rocks!)
@joenatescott from about 1945 until 1955 we call it boggy woggie. rock and roll started when bill haley recorded one of eddie floyd's songs called rock around the clock. chuck berry/ike turner pushed it further.
damn! i love this blues. my aunt who died a few years ago ran a juke joint and had original records like that. robert johnson, you name it all authentic records and this man kept coming by trying to but them all the time and lo and behold i see this same man on a p.b.s. documentary going around buying old records!!!! there was this old man who came by all the time who played guitar and played music just like that. old old style!!!
Don't forget Elvis was called rock, so this can fall as rock and roll. So what if it sounds like blues? It can be legitimately claimed as rock and roll
you're claiming chicken or egg when one can clearly be placed as happening BEFORE the other. This is blues. Rock n roll is derivative of blues. This does not make all blues rock n roll or all rock n roll blues.
The term "Rock and Roll" is NOT what Black musical artists used during the 1950's. Young people may call it that, The term was actually "Rhythm and Blues". I lived it.......Having listened to my first Rhythm and Blues song around 1952. Listening to this song I truly believe it could have been the first recorded "Rhythm and Blues" song. No matter what........this is a great song. Thanks for posting it.
It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll, nice lookin teasin brown to satisfy my soul, gonna move to Kansas City. "Jim Jackson's Kansas City Blues" is what this song is based on.
@colorod0 ...It seems like every singer of that generation, born in the 1870s and 80s, had a version of this which probably means it was a well known dance tune from even earlier. It sounds a little like a minstrel cakewalk even.
@PeluMaad Yeah, a bunch of these early songs are repeated. W.C. Handy encountered the song "Kansas City Blues" in about 1910, I think. He tried to put in on sheet music and publish it, but I believe the versions taken from that were different. Jim Jackson put his name on it and was the first to record it. Mr. Patton revved it up a bunch. The Jim Jackson version is rag tinged like most mistrel show music. Too bad these guys couldn't have recorded earlier (songsters).
@colorod0 ....Yes man....I love the guys with that old minstrel sound...Louis Laskey, Frank Stokes, Gus Cannon, The Memphis Jug Band, Uncle Dave Macon, Henry Thomas, Texas Alexander, Papa Charlie Jackson....even Levon Helm.
Man, this is blues, ain't no rock. Of course rock is very similar to blues and evolved out of the blues, sometimes there isn't much difference, but this was WAY before rock n' roll.
"Blue" as used to describe rude comedy comes from the Blues as well as some people thought that the Blues was the Devil's music and some lyrics are very suggestive.
As Muddy Waters said, the blues had a baby and they named it rock and roll. And the kid could be tried by jury as often as not for attempted patricide.
The term "Rock and Roll" is an African American term for having sex. There were songs with the terms"Rock" and/or "Rock and Roll" in the lyrics dating back to the 1920's.
@weswade Did you know that "jelly roll" meant exactly the same thing as "diddy wa diddie?" Also, "jazz" was a verb. It was what two people would do; if they really liked each other. And don't even get me started on "black snake."
@weswade Rock & roll also referred to the way riverboat "roustabouts" needed to carry the load onto the boat -- rockin & rollin made the load lighter as two guys carried the load from a pair of poles. Might be the original source too, or at least an influence in the term's usage.
@sazajac77z Interesting. Can you cite a source? "Rock and roll" was sexual slang, and that's how it was applied to the music. But, I wonder if the phrase originated in riverboating and was then translated into a sexual idiom (The Mississippi Delta is adjacent to the Mississippi River, so the language of the boatmen would have been extremely familiar to the black sharecroppers in the delta). Thus it was a frequently occurring phrase in the songs performed by the delta musicians and so on.
Could someone supply me with the lyrics to this? I'd like to make my own arrangement of it, and I'm not stressin' over coming up with a guitar part, but I can pretty much only make the "move to alabama" parts out, and I can't find lyrics anywhere online.
@RollOnToVictory They're part of the same evolutionary chain of African American music. The idea that this is the "First" rock and roll song is splitting hairs. It's hard to say where blues ends and rock and roll begins, as one gave one to the other. Great song, either way.
@mcchargueable i think blues never ends. Blues lives on rock n roll. for me, Blues is like foundation of the building and Rock n roll is the wall of the building.
Recorded uptempo blues long predates Patton. The fad for singing about rocking over a backbeat caught on during '47-'50 -- "Rock The Joint" by Jimmy Preston from '49, e.g. People who talked about rock and roll in the '50s, in reaction to that fad, were talking about stuff like Preston, like the Treniers and Bill Haley, and really not about stuff like Patton. Getting excited about old uptempo blues as "rock and roll," per se, is pointless, frankly. It's old uptempo blues and it's great.
Lol wow, none of the people commenting here seem too interested in the actual video. Anyway, I personally wouldn't consider this rock and roll. I agree rock happened before Elvis and all them, but I don't really hear it here.

They were chained from their legs to their necksThose academics who insist that slavery is an exclusively Black racial condition forget or deliberately omit the fact that the word slave originally was a reference to Whites of East European origin - "Slavs."
hey anchor facts dont matter eh you make your own up come up with evidence asshole
A study of the middle passage of White slaves was included in a Parliamentary Petition of 1659. It reported that White slaves were locked below deck for two weeks while the slaveship was still in port. Once under way, they were "all the way locked up under decks...amongst horses."
psif you want to be technical your not american you are a multi cultural nation made of germans africans scots irish welsh indian you are a nation that is a soup of nations to claim america is a single entity is wrong but cling to your little leadge and ill enjoy pushing you off and pissing on you while your twitching you fuck wit

YOU OWE ALOT TO THE LOMAXES THEY SURE AS HELL DIDNT STAY AWAY DID THEY ????? YOU IGNORANT aaaaassssshoool;llleeeeee
@deewilki Many of these singers were already known within the black community , what int he world are you talking about?
Plus any good deed done by whites like the Lomaxes is null now due to the inordinate number of whites who got rich off of songs done by less known black blues musicians
@DeportAnchorBabies ok what singers were known the chatmons or charlie patton who you spunk bubble even if they were known so what your argument wasthat WHITES IGNORED THE BLUES now clearly they didnot but in your mind whos knows look at charlie patton and the chatmons and manymany other BLACK musicians look closley if you dare they are MULATOS
@deewilki rofl i just checked your profile, you are british? I thought you were a white american
White britis have nothing to do with american affairs. White british obsession with black american music (northern soul) for example makes sense seeing as how you really lack culture. Beatles,rolling stones, etc etc all made fortunes off of black music
you are a retard im scottish not british ps the beatlesthe rolling stones and probably any other band you peanut shell mind can thinkof are ENGLISH FUCK FUCKING RETARD ps your nation your country everything you stand for IS BRITISH psi think you should look up the slave thing iv gave you enough information for an informed analysys but your too fucking stupid to add one and one
"It was almost as if the British merchants had redirected their vessels from the African coast to the Irish coast, with the white servants coming over in much the same fashion as the African slaves." (Warren B. Smith, White Servitude in Colonial South Carolina).
"The mercantile firms, as importers of (White) servants, were not too careful about their treatment, as the more important purpose of the transaction was to get ships over to South Carolina which could carry local produce back to Europe. Consequently the Irish--as well as others--suffered greatly...
oh can you enlighten me as to how one can "not realy be a slave " but be a slave refer to ludwig wittgenstien and stop talking nonsense
again as i said to the muppet grey angel dont just read black / whit / yellow/ rightwing / socialist history read it all as eh carr suggests without any bees in your bonnet YAFUCKINGRIDEYESOFULLOFPISH
Foster R. Dulles writing in Labor in America: A History, states that whether convicts, children 'spirited' from the countryside or political prisoners, White slaves "experienced discomforts and sufferings on their voyage across the Atlantic that paralleled the cruel hardships undergone by negro slaves on the notorious Middle Passage."
@deewilki The whole "white slave" thing is played upon by whites trying to pass themselves off as victims. The overwhelming majority of slaves were black = fact
Most "white slaves" wernt slaves at all , but indentured servants = fact
@DeportAnchorBabies oh yes you racist bigoted fuckwit yeah my ancestors asked to to removed from there landby force and have there houses burned down all there cattle slaughtered and there crops burned then by force asked to be put on a slave ship to be transported to the new lands to SERVE ( others ) your are a fuckin vile human and i hope your peers fuck you over how come if black people are servents they are salves ??? you are a moron
@deewilki OH YEAH ILL ATTACH MY SELF TO THE BRITISH TAG OH IV ALSO FOUGHT IN 2 WARS KOSOVO 1999 AND 2000 SO IV BEEN ABOUT A BIT AND SEEN MORE THAN MY MUMS PUSSY YOU INBREAD FUCK
WHAT ABOUT BLACK BRIT ARE THEY IN YOUR GANG OR ANY ARE YOU JUST ANTI WHITE IN ALL ASPECTS YOU ANAL ORIFICE
OF COURSE HE SOUNDS BLACK YOU NOB HEAD HE WAS BROUGHT UP IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAD MORE CONNECTION TO THAT RACE DUE TO THERE OPPRESSION ILL FINISH BY SAYING YOU ARE A BLACK RACIST AND AFTER ALL THAT HAS BEEN WON FOR HUMAN RIGHTS YOU ARE BACKWARDS
it is a made up term to envolope the many genres of music of the time he played ALSO YOU INGORANT DICK THE CHATMON FAMILY WHO ARGUABLY ARE THE FORRUNNERS OF DELTA BLUES AND MANY OTHER FORMS OF MUSIC SUCH AS BO CARTER AND HIS RISKY LYRICS TO SAM CHATMON AND SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND THERE FAMILY SKIP JAMES AND CHARLLIE PATTON WERE MULATOS THEY WERE MIXED SHIT I CAN TALK LIKE A LONDERNER OR A YANK DONT MAKE ME SO IF I WAS BROUGHT UP IN FRANCE ID SPEAK FRENCH
you sad man you must have issues mate i think indeed you needto learn some histoty you ignoramous it wasnt only black people that were slavesmany many peasantsfromscotland for instance were forced to to go to the colonies to slave for there family leaders ( clan chiefs) that had got land . these were not free people they were slaves. also as you seem to be a numpty ROCK AND ROLL IS A MAN MADE PHRASE from alan freed
this guy is black and sounds black not white , rock n roll is a black music form , why are they trying to make him look white . and act like its a white form of music,. learn your history.as black were not even allowed any sort of fame at that time in the south, the cheatting lying bastards.
@blackangel73 First of all, Music has no color, and Rock and Roll is comprised of forms of "White" and "Black" Music along with other Influences from all types of Ethnicities. Second of all, Charley Patton is mixed. Most importantly, the song is great!
@DeportAnchorBabies how the hell can music be a color? bro your stuck on some unimportant point of view and phrasing. It's early form still had elements from all ethnicities, quit the shit because it don't matter to me and thats the exact mind frame the same people who you say created it all. Nobody cared except for idiots, and that includes all colors ya dig!
@DeportAnchorBabies Fool, let me fix your head if your ready. Whites did not stay away form it considering there were whites who grew up with Blacks and though it was less seen compared to the racist bullshit that was advertised, though you may not believe it. it happened, and they did grow up together and didn't see prejudice. Just because something isn't as widespread seen doesn't mean it didn't happen or didn't exist.
@TheKOFFINKING Whites did stay away from it. Its the truth. They were late comers. Just like every other BLACK art form. Blues,ragtime,jazz,doo wop,rock, etc all started in the black community and whites didnt pick it up till late. Ofcourse when they did there was controversy over it because it was seen as BLACK music , or RACE music is what they use to call it back in the day
@DeportAnchorBabies LOL you need to search around a bit more. Your talking about the mainstream white media who called it race music or the other slanderous terms. You mean whites didn't popularize it and then get it labeled as "white music". And I'm familiar with everything your talking about, your still not understanding the unrepresented side of both "races" doing the music together. But hey, keep the hate up because you have an agenda and i know that's all you got to keep you happy.
@DeportAnchorBabies prejudice whites stayed away yes, but there were unprejudice whites who weren't following that BS state of mind but thats not what you usually see, i understand. but there were black dudes who have even said that in the south, both "races" were cooperating in it. your hatred makes me yawn. so i've closed the book on you.
@TheKOFFINKING Most whites back then were prejudice ( hell most still here) just deal with it. Maybe in areas like the Appalachian arera where blacks and whites were known to congregate amongst one another but thats pretty much it.Stop trying to rewrite history
@DeportAnchorBabies LMAO, bro your dumb as fuck. I'm not trying to rewrite history because i know of a history that you don't know about or refuse to journey upon it's facts. I see you with your default picture of a flag burning, most assholes like you try and play nice, yet you have a "racial" agenda. Prejudice, most white people are? lol. I've seen prejudice from all sides, and that is most humans.take your joke ass theory else where. your still boring.
@DeportAnchorBabies and blues can be considered that, and i throw up much respect to it, unlike what your able to do that ROCK AND ROLL IS ALL COLOR MUSIC!!! :)
@DeportAnchorBabies DeFord Bailey knows exactly what i'm taking about, and that man sure is black. do i care? no. music is music, so go and try and focus on getting your six pack abs, just as you collectively have favorited repeatedly on your channel, and drop the crap. "deport anchor babies". lol.
@DeportAnchorBabies mate your so full of shit ill give you my hanky to wipe your mouth WHITES STAYED AWAY who the hell was the chatmons playing to ( the shieks) just becuase the media are right wing dont taint every one by some comments here i may suggest that equally you may be racist
@DeportAnchorBabies and culture it did have, and it was built upon more then one. Get over it. because it don't hurt me one way or another, keep your unimportant policits to yourself, go find all the people who care about this unimportant issue and go burn in a fire with all colors of idiots. Ya dig.
the reverb on this tune is awesome. sounds like he was singin in an empty warehouse.

The term "Rock and Roll" is NOT what Black musical artists used during the 1950's. Young people may call it that, The term was actually "Rhythm and Blues". I lived it.......Having listened to my first Rhythm and Blues song around 1952. Listening to this song I truly believe it could have been the first recorded "Rhythm and Blues" song. No matter what........this is a great song. Thanks for posting it.

It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll, nice lookin teasin brown to satisfy my soul, gonna move to Kansas City. "Jim Jackson's Kansas City Blues" is what this song is based on.

@colorod0 ...It seems like every singer of that generation, born in the 1870s and 80s, had a version of this which probably means it was a well known dance tune from even earlier. It sounds a little like a minstrel cakewalk even.

@PeluMaad Yeah, a bunch of these early songs are repeated. W.C. Handy encountered the song "Kansas City Blues" in about 1910, I think. He tried to put in on sheet music and publish it, but I believe the versions taken from that were different. Jim Jackson put his name on it and was the first to record it. Mr. Patton revved it up a bunch. The Jim Jackson version is rag tinged like most mistrel show music. Too bad these guys couldn't have recorded earlier (songsters).

@weswade Rock & roll also referred to the way riverboat "roustabouts" needed to carry the load onto the boat -- rockin & rollin made the load lighter as two guys carried the load from a pair of poles. Might be the original source too, or at least an influence in the term's usage.
sazajac77z 6 months ago
@sazajac77z Interesting. Can you cite a source? "Rock and roll" was sexual slang, and that's how it was applied to the music. But, I wonder if the phrase originated in riverboating and was then translated into a sexual idiom (The Mississippi Delta is adjacent to the Mississippi River, so the language of the boatmen would have been extremely familiar to the black sharecroppers in the delta). Thus it was a frequently occurring phrase in the songs performed by the delta musicians and so on.
ptolemny 5 months ago
@ptolemny Sure, I got this from the book "The Land Where the Blues Began" by Alan Lomax. (A must read for any blues fan!)
He doesn't actually say that what roustabouts did is a source of the term "Rock and Roll". But that is what they called it.

Recorded uptempo blues long predates Patton. The fad for singing about rocking over a backbeat caught on during '47-'50 -- "Rock The Joint" by Jimmy Preston from '49, e.g. People who talked about rock and roll in the '50s, in reaction to that fad, were talking about stuff like Preston, like the Treniers and Bill Haley, and really not about stuff like Patton. Getting excited about old uptempo blues as "rock and roll," per se, is pointless, frankly. It's old uptempo blues and it's great.
