Actually two Jews wrote this song, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stroller. They wrote many R&B hits in the late 1940s and 1950s. Rock n' Roll is just R&B played faster. Let's be realistic please. I like Rock n Roll and traditional R&B. Today's R&B is bullshit.

Elvis Presley was famous for singing like a black man yet he was white and more palatable to racist 50s America. He didn't write any of his own music, yet he's the "King" of rock n roll. What a joke. His biggest talent was looking good and being white. He is to rock n roll what Vanilla Ice is to rap. Inauthentic and as boring as Wonder Bread. Give me Big Momma Thornton any day!

I love the guitar in the background of this version. Simple and sexy at the same time. This slow version is much better than the fast version that Elvis did and it doesn't have the stupid background vocals that was intended to tone it down for the white teenagers of the fifties.

@NEWGUY562 Hm interesting that you find this to be "horrible", as every genre of music around today is based on the 12 bar blues progression so....

Maybe because Josephine Baker is just way hotter than Big Mama Thornton. C&C Music Factory did the same thing when they made videos, got sexy models to lip sync...

Excellent sound upload but the visual of Josephine Baker is misleading, no?
