Song WAS written by Roy brown
-
@rockinron40 No. This is the original from 1947. Roy Brown wrote and first recorded this song. Wynonie Harris' version is from 1948 & is a cover.
-
@2nl5 The term is from the mid 1800's & had nothing to do with sex. It was a nautical term when the seas were rough on the Atlantic Ocean & the "Rocking and Rolling" of the ship. That's where you get things like rocking chair from. By the early 1900's the term started being used in black literature & songs as a euphemism for sex. By the late '20's early '30's the term started to mean fast dancing. But it was Allen Freed, in the early '50's, who first used the term to describe music.
-
@2nl5 Great point - that's probably one of the reasons why rock & roll music scared the hell out of a lot of older blacks in the 50s and many black artists shied away from using the term to describe their tunes.

@MusicMad Alan Freed may of been the 1st white guy to say it on the radio,over all don't think so. The term means sex been in the black community for very long time.

Wynonie Harris recorded a more rock'n'roll sounding version of this song a year earlier in 1946 and it's here on youtube too,check it out!

This version is more boogie woogie - Elvis's rockabilly,they're just different.
There's nothing blues in the lyrics-it's too upbeat.

@kevlar21059 Come on. Presley had the utmost respect for the blues and r&b greats, and he was sharply aware of the fact that he was being made an icon instead of the musicians he admired. What should be recognized as the true crime is that the record and publishing companies withheld royalties from the original songwriters, something that was out of Elvis' hands.
