Since I'm old enough to have been listening to the radio at the time I can say that Rocket 88 was a cornerstone of late nigh AM radio "alternative" music in the SF Bay Area. I used to leave my old tube table top radio on low on KYA all night as a young lad. I'd wake up now and then for a few minutes and hear stuff like this. I didn't know I was listening to history being made. It was just the cool new music at the time 😀

@@mtp4430 it's not a racial thing of any one race when it comes to what race the person was who created the first rock and roll record. People who were black and white were both creating the music that has elements of what is rock and roll. Even in the late 1940's a hillbilly band called The Maddox Brothers And Rose, recorded some wild anything goes hillybilly country jumping boogie, slapping string bass, wild rock and roll electric guitar solos on some of what they recorded on a small record label in the late 1940's (Texas Guitar Stomp, Step It Up And Go, New Step It Up And Go, Shimmy Shakin' Daddy) and they were white but they weren't thinking about ethnic race when creating the music and nether was Little Richard in the early 1950's, Fat's Domino in 1949, Jackie Brenston, Ike Turner and Sam Philips in 1951 and Bill Haley in 1951 when he first recorded rock and roll. Some people say it was the mixture of musical styles of music that was created by black people and white people that is what created rock and roll. It's not a form of music that is of A specific ethnic group of people. It was created in the USA with black and white pepolle mixing elements of country, rhythm and blues, boogie woogie, big band swing (Rag Mop from 1950 by The Ames Brothers has a rock and roll rhythm), jump, jive and 1950's pop. All mixed together. Like what the USA is. A melting pot. There also is an old blues song from a black man that when a white man named Roy Acuff And The Crazy Tennesseans recorded it in 1939 he made a country music recorded that has a boppin' rhythm he made to a blues song called Steamboat Whistle Blues that one can dance 1950's rock and roll bop to.

Robert Johnson...was definitely delta blues, but some of his riffs and song constructions certainly hinted at what was to come. And listen to "They're Red Hot" (Hot Tomales). Robert would have only been 57 in 1968...can you imagine what he could have accomplished had he not died at 27 in 1938 ? For me thats the saddest tragedy in any guitar music.

So much for not actually doing any of Rocket 88!!!

I find it really quite fascinating that this song not only holds a special place in Musical history and culture, but it also has impact on Car culture. The Oldsmobile Rocket 88 is considered by many to be the first ever muscle car, and having that same car be the subject of the first ever rock n roll song is really quite incredible.

Elvis didn't release anything until July of '54 (when I was born) which is the same year Bill Haley cut Rock Around the Clock.

I have some 78's recorded in late August, 1945: rock 'n roll

I remember R&B ...which was Black Artist all on A M.Radio in early 50's , if I remember.the Movie Black Board Jungle introduce Rock an Roll, we as teens (Chicano's) used the term " U wanna Rock" ment to slow dance, like rock side to side...fast dance was like "Boogie Woogie".. that's what I remember from 52-58

I prefer Haley and the Saddle Men version. They really should have been called the Comets at that time. But they didn't do a dive into more R & R until later. I like "Pretty Baby" and "I'm Crying" which were both done in 1951. "Where Did You Go Last Night" from 1959 is good. Bill enjoyed CCR. He covered "Traveling Man" pretty well. Kris Kristofferson said the best version of his song "Me And Bobby McGee" was by Bill and the Comets.

I have recordings of almost all of Sun's electric blues output from this time period and this song does not vary much from other R & B stars like Roscoe Gordon. After much research, I would give a nod to "Rock Around the Clock" as the first real rock and roll song. "Rocket 88" does not feature a guitar, but instead, sax and piano. "Rock Around The Clock," featured the first great rock and roll solo guitar solo and was recorded by a top country and western band, which also had a sax player. It was cut for the pop market. It was also the first rock and roll hit of the silver screen. It was at #! for 8 weeks and on the charts for 24 weeks. Not only did it sell 25 million copies but was a huge world wide hit. It was also the first rock song to have "rock" in the title. The Comets were also the first rock and roll band to tour England, causing mass hysteria. I honestly believe that Bill Haley has suffered from reverse discrimination. If he were black, then almost all music historians would consider this the first rock and roll song. I find it interesting that Bill Haley was considered to be too old to start rock and roll. He and Chuck Berry were almost the same age.

It was Good Rocking Tonight by Wynonie Harris 1947

Wait you're telling me Marty McFly wasn't the 1st one who created rock?

I'm gonna raise you one. It was Lucky White and Leodie Jackson's song entitled "That Naggin' Wife of Mine" version I, released on July 14, 1946 and version II, released August 17, 1946. Both on Courtney Records. Both compositions contain the blue print guitar break solos during the interludes which also include fiddle, steel, accordion, and guitar leads. A 16 year old Johnny Grande (Bill Haley's Comets) was on the accordion for version I released in July of 46'. It appears that it was Lucky and Leodie who laid the ground work for what would later become the classic Rock n Roll guitar break solos during the interludes. Five years prior to Rocket 88, and one year before Arthur Crudups "That's Alright" (momma) 🤪🎸🥁🎶🤠

Interesting number - there was always a fine line between Country and Rock.

It's no secret that country music was influenced by the blues. But even if the basic structure of future R&R records is there, that is nothing other than country (swing) music. Nice try.

@@mikeymutual5489 We know the history of that NAGGIN WIFE OF MINE. Released July 14, 1946. We also know the inspiration it left in it's wake. It was played all over the globe from 1946 thru 1954 on the United States Armed Forces Radio Network. It influenced everyone in the music business. Lucky White went on and toured with Les Paul and Mary Ford. Leodie Jackson went and toured with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.

I agree with Ike Turner. His version of Rocket 88 is rhythm and blues, but it did become the first Rock and Roll song when Bill Haley and the Saddlemen recorded it, and added their country influences to it.

The rock and roll sound was around in 1949. Try "Rock The Joint" by Chris Powell 1949 and "Rock That Boogie" by Jimmy Smith 1949, e.g.

@@JosephScott-ct9sw yep! I’ve heard them all. But, still rhythm and blues. The last ingredient was added by Bill Haley.

I gotta admit that I much prefer the original Cadillac lyrics ... "Look out the gate, don't be late, This rovin' cat's got a Cadillac Eight; Air foam cushions on a modern design, V-8 motor, body Fleetwood line; Keep rollin', Jack, makin' time That cat's purring, got eight kitten's cryin' ... It's the Cadillac boogie, yes the Cadillac boogie; It's the Cadillac boogie, boogie woogie rolling along.”

Goree Carter performing Rock Awhile 🎸 from 1949 gets my vote 🤩 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

My mother said the first rock and roll song was "Sixty Minute Man"!

I performed this tune about 35 years ago numerous times with a blues group, I would say if I covered it with my band it would sound rock but when I performed it in my friends blues group it was da blues fo sho

Arguably is the right word for this as many songs could have been called the "1st." Which song was really the 1st? Your guess is as good as mine. However Bill Haley and the Comets still mark the undisputed true beginning of the Rock and Roll era with "Rock Around The Clock."

Even before than Rock Songs go back from early 1952 first rock n roll Band

I agree with what Ike says,that it's an R&B record that played a big part in shaping R'n'R. It was NOT Rock'n'Roll, though of course Sam would say it was. He claimed credit for everything, though I'm not decrying the major part he did play.

The one I heard from 1948 was called rockandroll by wild bill Moore. It's a fast passed rhythm and blue's record with wild saxophone. And you can hear it hear on you tube.

Check out the screen at minute 3:39. If I'm not mistaken, that's a look-a-like "Chubby Checker" standing behind and to the right of the mike.

BUDDY. STILL DESERVES. KING.
