Del Album: Come and Join Us (1977), por Petra.
___________________________________
Letra y música por Russ Ballard
You can learn to dance
Or you can be a square
You can let the music take you anywhere
But where will you be when the music's gone
You can learn to sing
You can play guitar
You can learn to rock
You can be a star
(Coro)
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
If you love the sound
Then don't forget the source
You can turn around
You can change your course
'Cause it's never too late to change your mind
You can love the rock
And let Him free your soul
Or you can let the old man take his toll
It's never too late to change your mind
(Repite Coro)

In hopes of settling things a bit, the song was actually written by Russ Ballard, who later worked with KISS on several albums. Argent was the first to record it in 1973, then Petra remade it in 1977 and again in 1985, then KISS did its own version in 1991 for the movie, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

@josephhouk6703 6 лет назад

The irony there is that Greg Volz sang with Argent as well (that high pitch scream in "Hold Your Head Up" sounds familiar to any Petra fan)

@kentlewis987 4 года назад

As a side note, Kiss also recorded it twice...the first time for their '82 lp, "Creatures of the Night". Their version from the Bogus Journey soundtrack is differentiated as "God Gave Rock n Roll to You II.

This version has that 70's sound to it like the original version. I love it.

@edoerner 6 лет назад

I'm sure that a lot of people don't know that the producer of this Petra album(and song) was Austin Roberts, who is better known for performing the original Scooby Doo and Partridge Family theme songs and this sort of has a similar feel to it while it still rocks at the same time. You can hear his voice in the background vocals working with Greg Volz pretty nicely.

I used to hate Vinyl records. There was no replay button you had to move the arm back to the beginning of the track hoping that you found the right spot with which to begin the song and play one more time. THANK GOD FOR CD'S!!!

@codyflake3080 4 года назад

I’ve heard all Argent, Petra, and KISS do this song and I still have no favorites because they are all different. I like how Argent does it a little softer than the others, Petra makes a build-up to the song, and KISS must have practiced daily to have everything and everyone when they sang this. That is the awesome thing about bands, they have to do things their way even it’s a song that has been done before.

Actually, if you look up Argent God Gave Rock N Roll to You, the song was recorded in the late 60's because there's a live clip of them performing it back in 1968.

@dalelammers1 13 лет назад

Yes, Argent did write. specifically Russ Ballard. Go to Wikipedia and search Russ Ballard. He wrote hits for MANY people.

@wheelrdealr67 16 лет назад

Amazing intro on this song.

@bpabustan 15 лет назад

OK, let us set the record straight here. This song was written by Russ Ballard, guitarist and vocalist for the band ARGENT, led by former Zombies keyboardist Rod Argent. Petra (they covered this twice the other is from the album Beat The System - a rather bland cover than this one), Bride and even KISS will never claim this is their original. Go ahead search the internet and all credit will be given to Russ Ballard.

Actually, I think Volz or Hartman added some of their own also. If you listen to all three vesrions there are differences in all three lyrics.
