[SavoyBRG]

Greatest record ever made.

[willpn100]

Big Joe Turner influenced the "Daddy of Rock and Roll" Bill Haley. They were close friends and used to go fishing.

[xThisIsLife]

How he says some words is funny. Like this song. I wanna dancee. ^^

[aborins]

This is awesome!  Thanks for the post. :)

[raynap]

love this shit! my dad grew up in the doo wop era and this is even before that. he told me about this being the first record he ever bought in 1954. great stuff!

[dgough88]

grew up with this song, what an era!

[sawmillslim]

Those were different times...Joe didn't get much airplay on mainstream radio...it was considered "race" music. If you wanted to hear Joe's version, you'd have to move the dial to an R&B station, where the African American artists got the airplay. It's a shame, as the same songs would be recorded by a white artist then get airplay on mainstream radio, many becoming hits then.

[pdmhoops]

great rock and roll song, one of the all time best. why didn't we hear this on th radio?

[carrotjuse]

@pdmhoops You probably weren't alive in 1954. It was played on the radio in Beaumont by the Big Bopper and in New Orleans on the Dr Daddy-O show.

[pdmhoops]

GREAT ROCK AND ROLL SONG, ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST

[9mej]

its the introduction with the piano then when the whole song builds up thats when it gets going

[recovering16]

Can you believe this song is 54 years old? Still sounds great to me, and makes me want to dance!!!!

[TheFalloutNerd]

@recovering16

its a classic that will never die ,Bill Haley's version was good, but this is the definitive version of the classic!

[recovering16]

@TheFalloutNerd Totally agree. Another one by Big Joe I wish I could find is "Boogie Woogie Country Girl". (They are on You Tube, but sound quality is poor.)

[aborins]

@TheFalloutNerd This version is WAY better than Haley's!

[dal4018]

@TheFalloutNerd On WEDNESDAY 5-18 HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 100 YRS OLD A FULL CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dal4018]

@recovering16 He has a since of humor as well with the opening line

[cleetus58]

@recovering16

[recovering16]

@cleetus58 Math was never my best subject! (LOL)
