Spectacular song. Never heard it before. Would Love to have a copy of it. Sounds awesome. A nice piece of history as well, since you say it's considered to be the First Rock 'n Roll song.

Super Nice. Thanks for sharing!!

@TaffyRaphie,

That sound allegedly came about by accident. On the way to the recording session, the guitar amplifier fell off the car, and was slightly damaged. The damage was to the cone in the speaker, which made the guitar sound "fuzzy".
Is this true or just a story?
