zigzag Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 To me, I couldn't think of one song that defines R&R better than Johnny B. Goode. But you could also look to Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis or Eddie Cochran for songs that define original rock and roll. Edit: sorry I missed above.

DanvillRob Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Anything by Little Richard. now, everytime I hear about Little Richard, I think of "Tutti-Fruti"..... a song about gay sex....

DanvillRob Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Did you ever hear Pat Boone's version of that. Disturbing. Yeah.... I heard Little Richard DID that song to prevent Pat Boone from doin' his stuff. Richard was tee'd off 'cause Boone sold more copies of Richard's song than Richard did!

myspace.com/jessenoah Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I was intending this thread to be about rock and roll you would hear on a classic rock station, but it really makes me happy to see everyone gravitating twords the roots of rock and roll/ rockabilly/ blues ect!

The record company wanted a safe white performer to sing real rock and roll which at the time was referred to as "race music". They feared that the white audience would not buy music done by a crazy black man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Holly & The Crickets were supposedly booked at the Apollo Theater because the Apollo's management thought they were black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I heard is that Boone was singing Little Richard's stuff for just the reason you stated....so Little Richard did "Tutti-Fruti" because he was SURE Boone wouldn't release it.

cookieman15061 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Its weird but when I hear the term Rock n Roll I think of 50s stuff like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino etc. Now when I hear the word Rock I think 60s-70s in terms of era we may be talking about. But then thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgman Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I agree totally with those that picked what I would call the big three: Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apollo is in Harlem and was a "black" club. Back then it seemed to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
