Wynonie Harris - Good Rockin'Tonight download song

the honeydrippers did their version of this song in the 1980's

It could be that the aliens just like good rockin' music. This is from 1948, the original version was Roy Brown 1 year earlier.

Covered by everybody and his brother, but IMO this is the best version of them all.

What a great song with such great energy! Would have loved to heard this slammin' song in a juke joint back in the day.

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.

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.

The birth of the backbeat

Great early rock & roll - I prefer this version to Roy Brown or Elvis.

This song created music

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

Excellent song. Originated by Roy Brown who wrote it and made famous by Jerry Lee and Elvis. Rock 'n' roll history for sure in 1 song.

I thought Alexander the Great was actually a hip, swinging cat

Hip to the Tip! good morning judge... super post.

This is where Elvis Presley learned how to rock. Wynonie Harris was doing it long before him.

Another contender for the first RnR song in 1948.
