I appreciate you taking ...Thanks for your comment,<br /><br />I appreciate you taking the time to add it.<br /><br />I read your post, and agree with you about the musical significance of 1950s Rock N' Roll music.<br /><br />However, I don't agree with some of the points that you made. For example, I don't agree that "Rock N' Roll" is a "White guy singing like a black guy". I also don't agree that Chuck Berry was "the Black guy who sang like a White guy". <br /><br />However, that's your take of that music & those musicians/vocalists, and each person is entitled to his or her opinions.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-82301119039967100362013-07-12T15:03:43.904-04:002013-07-12T15:03:43.904-04:00Really nice blog.

I thoroughly enjoyed & learned a lot from your writing on this as well as other posts on this blog. <br /><br />I also have a music blog, but it's just exclusive about African American culture, it's just rock n' roll. But I have to admit there would be no rock n' roll if it wasn't for African American like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy. <br /><br />In fact, you could make the case that if it wasn't for Chuck Berry in particular, there would be Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. <br /><br />I've wrote an article about the inception of rock n' roll in the US through the influence of the Black artists: http://explorerockmusic.blogspot.com/2013/06/history-of-rock-n-roll-bill-haley.html<br /><br />Check it out and feel free to let me know what you think of it.<br /><br />Cheers!DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13401150742987594458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-26279550454381219262013-01-24T15:37:45.202-05:002013-01-24T15:37:45.202-05:00Apparently, a number of people recorded the Huckle...Apparently, a number of people recorded the Hucklebuck tune that Paul Hucklebuck Williams first recorded.<br /><br />But I'm wondering whether there were any other tunes or songs that people danced the Hucklebuck to.<br /><br />And if not, wasn't that strange? For instance, think of all the songs that were recorded to take advantage of the popularity of the early 1960s dance craze "The Twist". Hank Ballard was the first to record that Twist song in 1959, and then Chubby Checker recorded basically the same song -I think. But then he and other people recorded a different Twist song, not their version of the same song.<br /><br />But come to think of it, maybe the difference between the 1940sn and the 1960s with regard to music recording was that the copyright laws were stricter and people couldn't get away with recording covers of already existing records. So that's why recording artists had to come up with new songs that they could copyright but that people could do that currently "in" dance to.<br /><br />I guess that's a good thing, even if a lot of the dance songs that have been composed to take advantage of the latest dance craze aren't at all good.<br /><br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
