Date: October 23rd, 2021 5:41 PM Author: arousing overrated elastic band from A History of Rock and Roll in 500 Songs:
Berry had always been interested in playing as many different styles of music as he could — he was someone who was trying to incorporate the sounds of Louis Jordan, Muddy Waters, Charlie Christian, and Nat “King” Cole, among others. And so as well as performing blues, jazz, and rhythm and blues music, he’d also incorporated a fair amount of country and western music in his shows. And in particular, he was an admirer of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, and he would perform their song “Ida Red” in shows, where it always went down well.
[explains how Berry turned the Western Swing classic, Ida Red, into Maybelline]
And Berry’s music did resemble the Memphis rockabilly more than it resembled anything else. Both had electric lead guitars, double bass, drums, and reverb, and no saxophone and little piano. Both sang sped-up hillbilly boogies with a hard backbeat. Rock and roll was, as we have seen, a disparate genre at first, and people would continue to pull from a whole variety of different sources. But working independently and with no knowledge of each other, a white country hick from Tennessee and a sophisticated black urbanite from the Midwest had hit upon almost exactly the same formula, and Berry was going to make sure that he made the connection as clear as possible.

1. Little Richard
2. Jerry Lee Lewis
3. Elvis Presley
These are the bare bones trio that defined the genre. That's what you have to work with.
All three had one thing in common: poor as fuck southern church doods. Southern churches probably had a tradition of people doing these kinds of antics stretching back to the reconstruction era, maybe even earlier for the negroes. It just wasn't until the 1950s that that Sam Phillips came along and started making recordings. If you read about Sam Phillips he was a weird dude. Sort of a shut-in loner music dork, probably autistic, who seemed to find his outlet through music he heard during the great depression. |

Date: October 25th, 2021 4:05 PM Author: cerebral stain 'rock' music is definitionally white.
'rock' isn't rock unless a white guy is singing it. it's something in the grain of the voice that makes Elvis' version of a standard R&B or C&W song suddenly a 'Rock' song when he sings it. as soon as white people started playing rhythm music, it became something different by virtue of the white influence. Rock music and whiteness are indivisible. the element that white people brought to rhythm music is ironic detachment -- which set it on its path of elaborate experimentation and cerebreality (Bo Diddley vs Sgt. Pepper), but also made it less immediately earnest and 'soulful' than black music. |

Date: October 28th, 2021 10:20 AM Author: Nudist Disgusting Resort Foreskin You are not addressing my point. Dipshit cultural critics can point to a song and say, "First Rock and Roll song" -- OK, fine, but it is not like the first time someone discovered the North Pole. You can't say, "All rock and roll flowed from this one song." Culture doesn't work that way. Look at what I said above-- I am in no way saying blacks weren't critical to the development of rock and roll. That would be ridiculous. What I am saying is that whites contributed to. Without white influence, you still just have R&B, which is different from R&R. Without black influence you still just have C&W, which is different from R&R. BTW the sites you linked to are shit. Read some real rock crit-- like from Dave Marsh or Robert Christgau or Lester Bangs. All those fags LOVE black music but they aren't dumb enough to claim that blacks "invented" rock and roll. |

Date: October 28th, 2021 10:44 AM Author: Cracking free-loading public bath Perhaps you are correct and I am being too aggressive.
I was mainly just replying to the boneheads up above arguing that blacks' influence on R&R is just lib fantasy. I'm not interested in a competition over who is more talented musically-blacks or whites. |

Date: October 28th, 2021 10:46 AM Author: Nudist Disgusting Resort Foreskin The sad thing is that blacks abandoned rock and roll (or weren't getting airplay on AOR so went in another direction).
