Although the music today is more blunt with it's lyrics, music from back then talked very promiscuously. First known meaning of rock n roll is sex and there was a lot of talk about rock n roll. None the less, still like the blues, boogey woogie style the most
I been disagreeing with everyone's opinions on the first rock song, but this is the first I've heard that's this old and has definitive rock and roll elements.
This is the first.
wow. and so many say rock started with "That's alright Mama" or "Rock Around the Clock". This song was made 6 or 7 years before they were. Elvis may have brought black music to a white audience (and Bill Haley), but this is rock. 70 years old and sounds great.
