@geraldthebusdriver3491..........Mmm - very debatable, although Bill Haley was at the forefront of the birth of Rock and Roll in the early to mid 1950's. Having said that, many claim that Chuck Berry was the very first 'Rock-n-Roller' when he released 'Maybelline' [recorded by Chess Records] in 1955. Again, this is not factually accurate. Although Berry did play a very important role in the development of the musical genre, he is more renowned for launching the use of [electric] guitars in Rock n Roll - and 'Maybelline' most definitely was NOT the 'very first Rock n Roll record'. That honour fell to another Chess records release [although it was originally recorded at the legendary Sun studios in Memphis on 3rd March 1951] and is claimed to be the first ever Rock n Roll record by Sun Record's owner/producer, Sam Phillipps. The record was 'Rocket-88' by Jackie Brenston & The Delta Cats [who in reality were Ike Turner’s band The Kings of Rhythm]. 'Rocket 88' was co-written by Brenston and Turner and was a groundbreaking fusion of jump blues and swing, featuring a fuzzed-out guitar and off-key piano interspersed by Brenston's saxophone solos. Strictly speaking, the song was essentially R&B [it became number 1 on the R&B charts that same year]. However, it was quickly picked up and covered by Bill Haley and the Comets also in 1951. Then in 1955, Haley released his seminal hit 'Rock Around the Clock' - which essentially cemented his connection with Rock n Roll - and was heavily featured in the 1956 film of the same title. As a result, and by association with Haley's pioneering of Rock n Roll - Jackie Brenston's original version of 'Rocket 88' was deemed by many 'experts' [at the time and since] to have been the very first Rock n Roll record. [this is actually highly ironical - many ill-informed 'observers' claimed Haley had greatly influenced Brenston's musical style, when in truth it was completely the opposite!] Interestingly, Elvis Presley - who recorded his first records for Sam Phillips at the Sun Records studio, would pester Phillips to death to hear all his latest records. [Phillips was also a highly acclaimed DJ]. Phillips consequently played Jackie Brenston's 'Rocket 88' for Presley - who loved it so much, it became his 'all-time favourite' record! I have both Jackie Brenston's and Bill Haley [and the Comet's] vinyl releases of 'Rocket 88' and whilst I do prefer Jackie Brenston's version overall - Haley's [Rockabilly] iteration of the song is extremely good too!

Love Bill Haley, RIP. But he really didn’t need to censor the lines about picking up a fifth and “everybody in my car’s gonna take a little nip”
