Big Joe Turner - Shake, Rattle & Roll

"you a devil in nylon hose..."

Big Joe Turner, been listening to him for 30+ years now. He was one the best RnB singers, absolutely superb! This is the original and best, listen how well it's all put together...Leaves Bill Haley & Elvis versions a bit lacking.

I agree with the comment about Elvis in comparison to Big Joe. Joe is already soaked in blues & rhythm, but also Elvis because although he is not black, he is from the mississippi, where a lot of blues artists originate from. He is part of that culture. That's why his Elvis's version of this song sounds pretty good for a cover. In fact, I think it sounds a bit better the Haley's. Not disrespect to Bill. He still Rocks!

i agree - every morning i wake up to elvis's version- its not meant to be a disrespect, but elvis just had a better voice and range

All down to personal tast.
If you dig the blues, then Big Joe is your man.
If rock n roll is your thing, then Bill Haley is your man.
If rockabilly geys you Hep then Elvis is your man.
