Any nominations for early rock'n'roll songs with,let us say, a broader outlook? some starters: Too much monkey business (Still very teen age) Some Place Green (this may have passed for r'n'r, its unlikely to have passed as folk) lemon tree (ditto) Memphis Tennessee (maybe) |

Randy Newman's SImon Smith and the amazing Dancing Bear. Riot in Cell Block No.9 (Lieber/Stoller), 1954, The Robins - that early enough for you? |

I heard someone sing that at a coffee house, passing it off as a blues. Depends of course on how you define Rock and Roll. Jerry |

Hound Dog, Especially Big Momma Thornton's version. It would depends also on where you draw the line between Rock and Roll and Blues. |

They didn't do mature R'n'R, they just took the good old stuff, mixed it with Pablum and spoonfed it to the bubblegum set of the day. On the days I'll admit they wrote one or two good songs among them — I mean, "Yellow Submarine" or "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and all the stuff they brought back from whatever La-La land they inhabited could hardly quality — they were way past R'n'R and into something that resembled it only in that it used the same musical scales. I thought this thread was about music..... david |
