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!

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 lyrics were considered very controversial back in his era.
