  • Just look at his stance at the piano. I wonder if the Killer saw this?

  • @maxonian206 Good point!

  • At around the 1 minute 08 seconds mark you can even hear the basis of 'Rock Around The Clock'! just for a few seconds. This is without a doubt the origins of Rock n Roll.

  • @mickram23 It's in there!

    Incidentally - I DID NOT flag your comment as spam. YouTube goofs up - OFTEN!

  • Wow, I have to say it's really too bad his stuff wasn't really associated with '50s rock n roll. This is the roots of rock n roll in my opinion!

  • @kustom85delta88 Absolutely! Check out my mini-bio of him on ANOTHER of his pieces, wot I just uploaded! (It's linked to this piece). This was done in '44 - but when he did "Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine", three years later - his career went down the crapper!

  • Even better than benzedrine in ovaltine.

  • The real origins of rock lie in Louis Armstrong's 1929 'St. Louis Blues' ( NOT the one with Bessie Smith), the one on the soundtrack of Ken Burn's Jazz Mishap////

  • @mickram23 listen to Hank Williams Sr.'s "Move It On Over" and youll see the basis of rock around the clock. Im sure its been used in many other earlier songs, but its very similar in that song.

    GOD I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!! It puts modern music to shame.

  • .. At least _40_ years ahead of its time. A lot of "new wave era" musicians seem to have lifted a lot of this kind of thing.

  • I have never heard of this guy before! This was at least 10 years ahead of it's time!

    Jerry Lee Lewis seemed to have lifted his act wholesale.
