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.

Father Coughlin rock &roll had a big brother/uncle to show it the way it was named Jump Blues.Music historians say Jump Blues paved the way for everything you heard in the past and what you hear today.
To Shane Woodbury yes Ray Charles did remakes of white country&western music artist but the difference is no one has illegaly given him the title of Country&Western music like the title of the king of rock was given to Elvis.
Does anyone know if this is the original version of Big Joe Turner's version? Because all of the lyrics I find on the Internet are the other Big Joe Turner version. "Get out of that BED (not kitchen) and wash your face and hands." Or is this the cleaner version that he made after the other one that I keep finding? Someone please help! Thank you.
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.
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.
