Hi, you two. I just finished a new biography of Bill Haley, commissioned by his estate. My editor turned me on to your video. It was a kick seeing a couple of young people's first reaction to someone us authors have been researching collectively for over 40 years.. You hearing the jazz influence in the Comets is spot on and something we have gone out of our way to prove; several members had a strong jazz/swing background, though Bill himself was actually a cowboy yodeler that adopted 1940s R&B.

@mickiea6598 3 года назад

@m.vondrake5534 3 года назад

Did you include the part where Bill Haley backed out of a concert in Atlanta because Chuck Berry was not allowed to stay in the same motel as him. Chuck had to sleep in his car, so they all left early the next morning and went to the next gig.

@BlueShadow777 3 года назад

That’s laudable that you’ve done a biography of Bill Haley. I’ll check it out. However… Although your research shows that many of his band members had a jazz/swing influence, the MAJORITY of people were raised on jazz! Everyone had a jazz influence. However, you CANNOT say you can HEAR jazz in their playing. There is NO solid connection between jazz and rock’n’roll. I know music… They are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GENRES. The premise in your assertion is the warped analogy that you can taste ice cream and strawberries in your fish’n’chips. I had my own rock’n’roll band in the late 1970s and we played some Bill Haley. I progressed on to now sing jazz. Jazz snd rock’n’roll are totally separate. Rock’n’Roll was NEW in the early to mid 1950s..

@sparky6086 2 года назад

@@BlueShadow777 Before it was Rock and Roll, it was called "Bebop", kind of a simplified Jazz with a large Country, Blues, Gospel, and R&B influence. It was played around cities such as New Orleans and other south Mississippi River cities in the 1940's. Artists such as Bill Haley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry who played Rock and Roll in the mid 1950's weren't so much the inventors of it, as they were the ones who popularized it to a nationwide audience, so people know their names.

Little Richard and Chuck Berry are true innovators of early rock (actually had a chance to see Chuck perform live. Truly memorable). And as others have commented, there are many more. It's a good question - when did it switch/change/evolve (devolve as some at the time suggested) to the so-called Rock we recognize today. The Beatles did several covers of early Rock before they found their own sound. Some have suggested that their influence helped accelerate the transition. I love your channel and I love how you're asking these questions!

@intotheunknown8386 3 года назад

The era is more known as “Rock n roll “ rather than just the term rock. Rock grew out of this. There are seeds of this music in earlier stuff from the 1920s/30s/40s in some country music , rhythm and blues ,boogie woogie ,jazz ,gospel music. This is where at least commercially it came together in the 1950s. A question to ponder. What current music do you see couples dancing together when they go out ? That’s in ,physical contact rather than just doing your own thing alongside / near a partner.

@thtadthtshldntbe 3 года назад

It would be slightly more accurate to say that the Rock n Roll "sub genre" was one of the first, if not the first Rock subgenres to be created. Rock music basically happened when musicians combined blues (and to a lesser extent folk and jazz) themes and lyrics to the country music beats. Eventually they worked on different and more complex melodies, harmonies and such.

Yeah, it was the first US#1 that was considered "Rock'n'Roll". Earlier examples of the fusion of styles that would come to be known as "Rock'n'Roll" go back as far as the forties. The most commonly agreed upon "first Rock'n'Roll single" though, was probably Ike Turner's 1951 song "Rocket 88" (originally, and confusingly, credited at the time, to Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats). It was written by Brenston and Ike Turner (best known as Tina Turner's abusive ghoul of an ex-husband to most folks these days) and it was produced by Sam Phillips who would go on to "discover" Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis a few years later, signing them to his Sun Records label for their earliest recordings.

This was a commercial breakthrough, but perhaps the true start is Ike Turner's "Rocket 88" from 1951. That song was named after the high-powered engine in the new Oldsmobile automobiles. So that was the start of Ransom E. Olds having an unwitting musical legacy. (After Olds was forced out by the Oldsmobile board of directors, he founded R.E.O. and made trucks, including the famous "REO Speedwagon" fire engine that Neal Doughty ended up naming his long-running group after.) If you think that anecdote is my subtle way of saying you should react to some REO Speedwagon ("Like You Do", "Golden Country", "Son of a Poor Man", "Ridin' the Storm Out", etc)…you're not wrong. Get the live versions, though; they were amazing in concert. (Just make it pre-1989, so you have original guitarist Gary Richrath playing.)

@RMB42 Год назад

I was going to make that comment. Rock and roll was an evolution and amalgam of several musical styles so there really was no "first" rock and roll song, but over the years I've heard and read the opinion that Rocket 88 should be in the running for one of the first. It came four years before Rock Around the Clock.

Larry - Agree. Big Band era Swing jazz was breaking away from the full ensemble melodic sound to a much more driven sound - Bebop, using smaller units - quartets, quintets, sextets - with emphasis on solos and blazing speed. This before breaking away again toward Modern Jazz and Cool Jazz. But the emphasis on all jazz was sophistication and actual musicianship. Rock was pretty much considered by jazz musicians as low brow. There may have been a bit of borrowing back and forth, but there was never an actual meld till the Fusion Jazz of the 70's.

@timothymunger3186 3 года назад

The beginning of rock and roll is a truly great story we can all share with great pride. After World War 2 Western swing became very popular. All sorts of new young musicians (such as Milton Brown) were appearing on local and regional radio shows all over the country. The nature of dance music was beginning to change. You started to hear the influences of blues, honky-tonk, jazz (as Blue noted below), bluegrass, and more. Around 1952 Les Paul came out with his version of the electric guitar. It was a total game changer. As the 1940's turned to the 1950's, yet another wave of young musicians appeared. Young Rockabilly musicians like Chet Atkins, Elvis, Johnny Burnette (before they commercialized him), Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Gene Vincent and his Bluecaps, and so very many others. Rockabilly was the really edgy, dangerous music of it's time. People like Bill Haley and Chuck Berry helped really shape the music into Rock and Roll.

If you're doing a series on early rock, be sure to try Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and something by Chuck Berry, like "Roll Over Beethoven." In terms of categories, you might consider Rock Around the Clock to be "Rockabilly." It has a bit of country twang, and the beat borrows from an earlier musical style called Swing.

Bill Haley was a part of a transition following up on the Swing of the 40's and starting to incorporate Blues elements. Les Paul (and Mary Ford) were just introducing the world to an electrified guitar. The essential elements were there but the bass was still a standup. Try Elvis Presley's cousin, The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On".

For early "hard rock" sounds with distorted guitars like you're more used to hearing you'd be looking at more of the psychedelic rock bands from the 60's. That's kind of where the music started to evolve away from this and became more guitar driven. Songs like "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf, "Travelin Band" by CCR, "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks, "Revolution" by The Beatles, "My Generation" by The Who, "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly, "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, and others from that era like Jimi Hendrix and Cream. From there, psychedelic rock started to evolve more into hard rock during the 70's with bands like Led Zeppelin and into heavy metal with bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. I actually have a video on my channel where I kind of go into the evolution of heavy metal, if you're interested.

@@PhysicalGraffiti97 On 5 July it is 67 years since Elvis Presley recorded his first single, a rockabilly version of the 1946 blues song That's All Right at Sam Philips' Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. With this record, Elvis captured lightning in a bottle. That’s All Right has become the lodestar of rock ‘n’ roll, the song by which every other rock song should be judged. It would be wrong to say that before this there was nothing - there was jump blues, R&B, hillbilly, urban swing, Ike Turner and even Bill Haley - but this song was the line in the sand, the vortex through which the teenage demographic came of age.

The old folks called it Devil's Music and it was banned in many places and radio stations. Which *of course* 😏 enticed rebellious teeny boppers. The term itself had a sexual innuendo that shocked their Bible thumping parents. Rocking and rolling was what couples did in the hay when they would sneak off to the barn. wink wink😉.

Rock Around the Clock is so similar to Move It on Over by Hank Williams that some people credit Williams with being a creator of rock and roll. Williams wrote Move It on Over in 1947, five years before Max Freedman and James Meyers wrote Rock Around the Clock, and seven years before Bill Haley recorded it. Listen to Move It on Over to hear how similar the two songs are. Some consider Rocket 88 by Ike Turner in 1951 to be the first rock and roll record. Others credit Sister Rosetta Tharpe's 1944 recording of Strange Things Are Happening Every Day. But rock and roll was a development, not an invention, with contributions from many performers over a long time. You say this sounds like jazz, but it's missing some of the main elements of jazz, particularly swing, syncopation, and improvisation. What it has is a back beat, which helped make rock and roll different from other pop music of its time. That is, it's main emphasis is not on the downbeat (ONE two three four), but on the third beat (one two THREE four). Possibly it's the instrumentation that makes it sound like jazz to you (a stand-up bass is common in jazz, but rarely used in rock these days).

THERE'S A REASON ELVIS PRESLEY IS CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT FROM THE SOUNDTRACK. The reason, of course, is money. To mitigate the cost of licensing so many songs, Universal offered a flat rate to all of the labels involved. Everyone went along with it except for RCA, which meant no Elvis. The kids in American Graffiti are therefore probably the only teenagers in America who could listen to the radio all night in 1962 and never hear an Elvis song.

One of the greatest lead guitar sections of all time by the innovative guitarist Danny Cedrone. Danny never lived to see the release of this song. He was paid $21 for the recording, and lived in a small apartment with his wife and kids. He would tell his wife how he wished he could have a hit record and get them out of that lousy apartment. He came home one day and his wife told him there was no food in the house, so he went to a friends restaurant a couple blocks away that was located on the 2nd story of a building to get sandwiches for his family. Upon leaving the restaurant, he fell down the 2 flights of stairs and died immediately. 8 months later, "Rock around the clock" would hit #1 on the American charts, and became a worldwide smash hit. That guitar part would go on to inspire many generations of people to want to pick up and learn the guitar, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, (and me?). Danny was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Rest In Peace Danny Cedrone. Peace

A friend told me of the reception the Comets received when they came to the UK. Bill Haley had died by then, but the Comets were still performing. The Comets were given a police escort and all the traffic lights were turned green so they wouldn't be held up! Lovely story, I hope it was true - the friend assured me it was. These guys, after all, were the pioneers, and from them came the inspiration for so much rock and pop that followed. As you say, there was still the jazz influence, but in my humble opinion it was the need to make 'pop' music more accessible that led to the early sixties style which was less jazzy and more pure commercial soft rock and pop. But it was the Blues that influenced so many bands in the mid-to-late sixties. This led to the style made famous by the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, early Fleetwood Mac, etc. Love from the UK.
