One of my all time favourites. RIP
Rolling Stone:
“God, Jesus, He made men, men, he made women, women, you know? And you’ve got to live the way God wants you to live. So much unnatural affection. So much of people just doing everything and don’t think about God.”
“Yet none of that seemed to damage his mystique or legend.”
IIRC, he gave Jimi Hendrix his start. He will not be forgotten, his music will live on and on.

One of the very best of the 50’s rockers. It’s funny that white radio stations wouldn’t play him so they had Pat Boone cover many of his songs.
Pat Boone could make a fortune these days.
Not sure he’d like the lyrics.

Spring Break boob showings seem tather tame these days.
Some of the least offensive lyrics of the song Sarah Palin sang:
So I’m lookin’ at rock videos
Knock-kneed bimbos walkin’ like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I’ll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas, I want to get with ya
I won’t cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I want to fuck
Til the break of dawn
Baby got it goin’ on
A lot of simps won’t like this song
‘Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I’d rather stay and play
‘Cause I’m long, and I’m strong
And I’m down to get the friction on
So, ladies (Yeah) Ladies (Yeah)
If you want to role in my Mercedes (Yeah)
Then turn around, stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back
Must be fun bringing up kids these days.
Tutti Frutti is Justin’s theme song.
Great song. Such energy. Look at everyone dressed in suits. So classy. The 50s were awesome. Easily the greatest decade ever. Before my time of course, but still.
Love the laconic drummer.
Wow Kate, almost tears of joy watching that. Anyone notice Bill Hailey, or at least a Hailey look alike, in the first clip sitting at a table. Loved that old rock and roll.
@old white guy: yeah, me too, Bill came to my mind, it was the forehead curl that triggered that thought.
Sorry. Couldn’t stand him or his horrible music.
