Master 'shout blues' artist Big Joe Turner marks another high point of his career here with "Shake, Rattle & Roll."
Although Bill Haley's later sanitized version became a top rock-n-roller hit, it's said many folks sought out Turner's version instead.
A pivotal figure in popularizing blues, jazz, classic R&B, and rock and roll, Turner's career lasted from the 1920's busking on the streets of Kansas City through the 1980's at the most lauded jazz festivals in America and Europe.

@sjdinergrrl Thank you Dinergirl this is what people like Blues and myself are saying Elvis was not the so-called driving force behind the success of this form of music like America has been led to believe for the past 5 decades.
I as a lilty white lady, turned on my radio behind my mommy's back so I COULD HEAR THIS SOUND. OH what memories. Thank you dear 'brothers' for bringing such sunshine into a "THEN SHEELPLED GALS LIFE." I ended up with the most magnificent bro-as my partner for 12 yrs. until he went home. Said he could help me more from the other/side, when he got ill. HE DID NOT let me down. He is with me each moment of the Day. LOVE THIS VID. Just yummie to the Soul. Come on Heal the hurts, WE are all ONE. :-)
Enjoy ,Nancy this man along with Louis Jordan,Lionel Hampton were the pioneers for a form of music named,Jump Blues it paved the way for everything you heard in the 50's up to the modern era.
