My Daddy Rocks Me Trixie Smith

[leanannsidhe]

@Kirke182 Yeah one of the earlier comments here cleared that up, I think. I know Trixie recorded it at various times, with various back ups, and even with various lyrics. I was just giving the info I had in the CD insert, which as you probably know isn't always correct. Thanks for your comment.

[leanannsidhe]

@killerdillr yes this is the first song to use the term "rock and roll". It was slang for sex. Google it.

[LiquidRelief]

To people who don't know. This song recorded in 1922, is the first song that uses the term Rock and Roll in his lyrics. Rock and roll were terms, used in the 1920's by the afro americans to express dancing, partying and sex.

HER MAN KNOWS HOW TO REALLY ROCKS HER WITH HIS STEADY ROLL.

[killerdillr]

No it is not. The Boswell Sisters is said to be the first with "Rock and Roll" from 1934 . A song about a boat in the oecean. It is on youtube as well.

[killerdillr]

No, it is not. It is said to The Boswell Sisters with their song "Rock and Roll" from 1934 - that song is about a boat in the ocean.

[buddyeagle]

The first Rock and roll song or not??

[piecharthosen]

Rock and Roll were slang for sex, right? So was this song the equivalent of edgy rock of today?

[strathchaileach]

@piecharthosen I always wondered why Rock'n'Roll wasn't played on commercial radio... it might be because of its roots. Like here. This song is virtually pornographic. You could literally change the words Rock'n'Roll into Fucking music. Now I understand why Elvis was shot on TV, from the waist up when he shook his hips. All those christians in sexual denial must have been fuming (lol)

[inkey2]

wow....what year is this...she is saying the words "rock & roll" probably 25 years befor the term oficially even existed

[Fauconnier1942]

J'aime ce morceau depuis si longtemps que je ne sais dire combien... J'ai un vieux vinyle qui me le chante de temps à autre... La beauté,est presque toujours intemporelle. Ce morceau me fait le même effet que quand j'avais 50 ans de moins; chapeau, les musiciens!

[mangeldeth74]

Awesome, ("Rock" & "Roll") 

[mangeldeth74]

Awesome, Rock 'n' Roll.

[Chomuno]

Beautiful! I love Trixie Smith!!!

Any news Leanannsidhe??? What's up?

[TheSirpapa]

!!GENIAL!!

de lo mejor que he podido escuchar en los ultimos tiempos...

[carolkaur]

THANK YOU so much for uploading this! I learned this song a long time ago when playing with a band. Today I got together with some friends to play music for the first time in quite awhile, and was teaching my band mates the song, hoping I was remembering it properly.....I thought my chances of finding a recording were quite slim. But here it is! Again, many thanks! :)

[missusestlady]

she's amazing!

14/10/'10 The '38 date for this session is correct. Listen to the more clear sound of the record as well as Bechet's cl and the swing sound of Shavers' tp...

[OriellafSocram]

1922 - Trixie Smith é a primeira a gravar as palavras "rock" e "roll" na canção "My baby Rocks Me with One Steady Roll"

[Samurrraj]

The words "rock" and "roll", which were black slang for sexual intercourse, appear on record for the first time, Trixie Smith's "My Baby Rocks Me With One Steady Roll".

[inkey2]

@Samurrraj this is interesting.......so is this the first known recording of someone using the words rock and roll?

[fluw]

mmmhm!

[paramore261]

I love this song... Trixie's voice is awesome!

[oldtimejazzfan]

Sidney Bechet on clarinet

[leanannsidhe]

@oldtimejazzfan Thanks, I wasn't sure who the musicians were in most of these songs I have from that time period, just the singers.

[oldtimejazzfan]

@leanannsidhe The full personnel is Charlie Shavers tp, Bechet cl, Sammy Price p, Teddy Bunn g, Richard Fullbright b, O'Neil Spencer dr, recorded May 26 1938.

[leanannsidhe]

@oldtimejazzfan The two CDs that I have are supposed to be Vol 1 1922-1924 and Vol 2 1925-1929. I did read though where she recorded a session with Sidney Bechet in 1938. I guess the CDs are labeled wrong.? There are two versions of this same song on this CD so I wonder then how many of the other songs are from that 1938 session. Anyway, thank you for the information. :)

[Kirke182]

@leanannsidhe This is definitely not the early 20s. I heard that this song was originally recorded in 1922 but it could not have been an electric recording and this version definitely is.

[bonzoreva]

My Man Rocks Me.

[leanannsidhe]

@bonzoreva Actually the title to this song is My Daddy Rocks Me. Trixie also did a song called My Man Rocks Me, that has basically the same chorus, though the rest of the song is different. I'll put it up later, the quality of it just is not all that hot.
