@1blastman yes, amen to that. But also remember the geniuses of Tin Pan Alley.

@9thWardJukebox Elvis was the talented, sexy white guy who transitioned Black R & B into mainstream 50's rock and roll. He was a charismatic performer, but did he write any songs? Basically he was one of world's greatest cover artists. But the song writers and the list is too long and varied to post here - they were the visionaries. And the early black artists who had the courage to sing from their heart and soul.

@1blastman I have literally a ton of Percy. I just don't seem to get to him before I find what I wanna post. I will do better!

@9thWardJukebox Roosevelt Sykes is brillant. I will look for your posted work on him. BTW, I also got really turned on to some Percy Mayfield - WOW.

@1blastman I wish you wouldn't had said dat. I like to see the idiots defend their pick. I love when they say Bill Haley, Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry. Seriously, you are dead on right in my opinion. Presley does get credit for opening all the doors allowing the music to flow.  But who was 1st???? I have stuff by Roosevelt Sykes from the early 30s for which a case could be made.

@9thWardJukebox I think rock and roll started collectively and not singlely. Musicians are influenced by each other and push each other to come up with original sounds. The post WWII era was fertile ground for artistic creativity. Roy Brown, Fats, Dave B and a host of others were on the cutting edge of the new sound. I'm sure there was a great deal of sharing ideas among the musicans of that time. Rock was born out of that collective progression - at least that's the way it looks to me.

[9thWardJukebox]

@1blastman On the contrary. Me and the other people who do this want this music to be introduced to new fans and live on forever. Your interest makes me feel like I'm doin' my job!!! Just keep enjoying!!! By the way, Roy Brown is one of the true pioneers of Rock 'N' Roll. His song, "Good Rockin' Tonight" is considered by many to be the first rock and roll song. It's a debate "dat" I refuse to get in.

@9thWardJukebox Thanks! I feel like I'm buggin' the daylights out of you, but everytime I check you out there's a whole history of New Orleans music posted. The Roy Brown stuff you just came up with totally blew me away.

I'm sleeping less, but enjoying music more - rock on.

[9thWardJukebox]

@1blastman I'll scrape around for some soon.
