jackson 301 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Excellent, no denying but Bill Haley took the song on to another level: Fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 That's true, jackson but then Elvis Presley recorded it in 1956 and took it to a level that nobody else could reach. You will find that most of the early 50's and 60's Rock & Roll songs had been recorded previously by singers like Big Joe Turner. All the versions were good but all a different style.

denshaw 2,871 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 What song? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Turn the mute off, denshaw. If it is off check your ear plugs. If neither of these apply then I guess you are telling me you don't like it. If that's the case then you shouldn't be listening to music on the 'Rock And Roll' thread....lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Watched a documentary last night about Wanda Jackson, this lady was, and still is, the first lady of Rock n Roll,(in my humble opinion). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Wanda Jackson was a very pretty lady who made some great recordings. I remember her most for 'Mean, Mean Man' and this one 'Let's Have A Party' from 1960. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
