This is the (appropriate) theme song for Andrew Hickey's addictive podcast "The History of Rock Music in 500 Songs." I'd never heard it before and wondered where it came from, before I found it here. Way before it's time.
Andrew Hickey excellent podcast also brought me here. I love discovering things like this and this is a wonderful earworm. I've been watching this almost everyday for the past three weeks just to cheer myself up! The Boswells are delicious. And the dancing sailor girls are adorable. I love the two that the camera focuses on, I wonder who they are.
This is better than fabulous. These girls can harmonise in one take, can sound terrific without nine trillion adjustments on a mixer, and the chorus girls look sensational.
No, never, why shouldn't we then as well take Moses into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he was rocking and rolling in the river of Nile when he was left and found there as a baby...? 😂😂😂

The Boswell Sisters were huge stars, with the rare trait that they were also fine musicians that altered the musical landscape forever. This tune may not be "rock and roll", whatever that means to you, but it sure is a nice period pop tune, sung and arranged insanely well.

I got an original 1934 78rpm record of this song way back in the 1970s and have always wanted to see how it looked in its original movie appearance. And finally, I've seen it, with the inept disorganized dancers and all!
From none other than Ella Fitzgerald: "Who influenced me? There was only one singer who influenced me. I tried to sing like her all the time, because everything she did made sense musically, and that singer was Connie Boswell. When I was a girl, I listened to records by all the singers, white and black, and I know that Connie was doing things that no one else was doing at the time. You don't have to take my word for it, just check the recordings made at the time and hear for yourself." Of course Ella would take their scat singing and elevate it to a genre all its own, but we have to appreciate its roots. The Bowells kicked ass.
Rock and Roll in the 1930's? NO! Just the words! I don't want ANY rock and rollers to come and try to usurp or twist this as some historic tie to modern rock and roll which is nothing more than screamers, pig callers and instrument bashers!!! This IS PURE JAZZ!!!
I can imagine Andrew Hickey of the great podcast *A History of Rock and Roll in 500 Songs* dryly intoning about this song: "As I have said several times in this series, there is no first "rock-and-roll" record, and although the theme song of this series appears to have the earliest use of the phrase in a song title, it is not "rock...and...roll.""
Although nothing in common with the music of 1955 on, this 1934 disc is the earliest recording with ROCK & ROLL in the title, according to Casey Kasem on AT40 in 1975, eons before Chuck Berry, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Joan Jett, Danny & Juniors or Cat Mother had the idea.
Wow! I've been searching for this song since 1970! It was a TV commercial for obscure hit 'dance songs' "On two LP's or 8track tapes! I remember them saying in one song snippet "Rock & Roll, Roll & Rock Away --" but then that was all they sampled of it in the ad. I am amazed! I wonder if there was possibly an older version of the same song?
This song, "Rock and Roll" is from a 1934 movie titled, "Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round". It fits into rock 'n roll history with the double entendre meaning of having sex. Like let's rock 'n roll all night long.
I love these talented sisters. As a big Roches fan, I was curious about influences. After exploring the Andrews Sisters, I discovered that the Boswells were a great influence on them - as well as the Brox Sisters. Now, as a Boswell & Brox fan, I can't get enough of them! Thanks for helping to give a larger exposition of these great voices. By the way, what film is this from?
I read an article in the 80's featuring a celebrity died long before that, the term "Rock and Rock" originated from what African American men would say just before sexual climax in the early 1900's. That is why music with the name rock and roll was considered derogatory and dirty in the early and mid part of the XX century because of the connection with sex and, that is why rock and roll music was invented by the African American community.
While it has nothing to do with musical style, it is significant in the fact that it was the first time is was used on a recording. The term had been used with religious and sexual connotations decades before this.
There's still great stuff to be found. You 'll just have to look for it. Check the video "Gee oh gee" by the Jacquelines on the tube. It's brand new, but it sounds like it's '40's... (i would post the link if YT allowed me to do so)
Michael Saunders "WOW!! THIS IS WHERE WE GOT THE NAME!?!" No. The expression to "rock and roll" went way back. For instance, there was a record before this that had the lyrics "We've been rocking and rolling in your arms, Rocking and rolling in your arms, Rocking and rolling in your arms, In the arms of Moses." When Wild Bill Moore and Wynonie Harris began recording rock and roll style music (such as Bill's "We're Gonna Rock") in 1947, they hadn't necessarily ever heard either of those two recordings.
splendidcurves Elvis invented rockabilly. As for rock n' roll, no one man invented that. But rock n' roll came to be a definitive genre in 1956-7 and Elvis was the main contributor for the separation of rock n' roll from blues and country music into its own genre. He was also by far the person most responsible for the popularization of rock n' roll. The careers of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, etc. depend on Elvis popularizing them then and even now. The only person from the 50's to graduate into long-term fame on his own without the help of Elvis was Johnny Cash and James Brown. Rock n' roll before Elvis, Chuck and all those guys was upbeat r&b, it wasn't its own genre quite yet.
Little Jimmy Scumbag During the 1956-1959 period Elvis was the most popular rock and roll artist and the most popular rockabilly artist. Does that somehow mean he "invented" rockabilly? Nope. What do you think is important about what you call "the separation of rock n' roll from blues"? Why were the Dominoes ("Sixty-Minute Man") promoted in print as the "greatest Rock and Roll performers in the world" in 1951 if rock and roll wasn't a genre in 1951?
Joseph Scott Elvis invented rockabilly is 1954 at Sun Studios. But nice try again. Most historians agree that Elvis was the definitive force to Rockabilly music. You're just a racist, nothing more, nothing less. You just try to polish up your comment to sound subjective. Keep giving me blues songs and I'll keep giving you jazz songs. That won't make either rock n roll.
Little Jimmy Scumbag "Elvis invented rockabilly is 1954 at Sun Studios." At another video you just wrote to me that rockabilly is music that sounds like Elvis. Under that pointless circular definition, of course Elvis invented "rockabilly" (music that sounds just like himself). But really "rockabilly" described music that combined rock and roll with "hillbilly," and white artists such as Bill Haley, Hardrock Gunter, and Curtis Gordon were all recording rock and roll mixed with hillbilly before 1954.
Billboard magazine journalist, Maurie Orodenker, used the term "rock and roll" to describe music in the 1940s. Alan Freed popularized the term in the 50s. However this video doesn't fit that description.
Beautiful harmony...could someone please post video of their other great song from the movie Transatlantic Merry Go Round called " If I had a Million Dollars" ...thanks

This was staged with all three sisters seated in a prop rowboat because lead singer Connee Boswell was a paraplegic and was in a wheelchair in real life.
Mind that appearing on screen in trousers was below the standards of the mainstream middleaged public at the time of this recording. I suppose there were a lot of people asking themselves "What happened to us ? Why don't they wear long dresses anymore ?"
Can anybody figure out what they are saying at the very beginning? It sounds a little like "son of a gun, rock and roll, son of a ..yeah!" That doesn't make a lot of sense. Anybody figure it out?
This is FABULOUS! What's happened to us? We have completely lost this sense of style and sophistication. It used to be that you didn't step out of your house without wearing a respectable outfit. Now, it seems flip-flops and ratty jeans are de rigeur.

Likewise! I love that podcast. I listen to it every day while I'm out for my daily walk.
Which episode?
The house they grew up in on Camp St in New Orleans is still there and has a historic marker outside and it's a beautiful place.

This should be in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as (technically) an early influence!
I second this!!
How can we make this happen? :P

Andrew Hickey's podcast "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs" brought me here!
Those girls were the first to "swing it" with their early jazz style. Connie went on long after her sisters retired. They were true originals.
To the 1970s 😨

Just noticed gulling at 1:54...gulk gulk gulk one of their trademark song sounds
The seasick dancers add a comedic touch wonderful video.
One of the best vocal groups, good and moving song too. And who would have thought the word is that old.
It'd been tossed around prior to this, but as far as anyone seems to know, this is the first time the phrase was recorded in song.
@@dirkbender2483 Indeed.
WOW that sound they make at 1:50 to 1:57 is just amazing?
how they make it is beyond me!
The Boswells are definitely one of my favorites!

How can it be that someone in 2021 loves a 1930s song ?😊❤️👍
Hello Linda, How are you doing?
Trust me, honey, people love them in 2023 too! Believe me!

Hello Rhonda, How are you doing?
People had to know "HOW" to sing back in those days (Today, often, singing is not something you have to know how to do-it is lost).
ya know i like dubstep and heavy metal but this good ol rock and roll is still awesome xD!
The Boswell sisters use rock and roll first time on any record
Love the dancer at 1:50

Notice the swaying @ 1:28. Predates Michael Jackson
This is from Trans Atlantic Merry Go Round and you can find it oh VHS if you poke around the internet a little. Not sure that it ever made it to DVD.

Nice. Someone who knows more 1920s and 1930s artist like the boswell sisters?
This was staged with all three sisters seated in a prop rowboat because lead singer Connee Boswell was a paraplegic and was in a wheelchair in real life.
woah!
Connee was not a paraplegic. She simply was unable to walk.
Anyways, I think it works brilliantly. They're like a greek chorus
It's rather hard to be in a rowboat while standing. That's why all three are sitting. It's the normal posture in that kind of craft.
@@timcarr6401 Yes, but the reason for having them in a rowboat in the first place is because Connee couldn't stand up.
Mind that appearing on screen in trousers was below the standards of the mainstream middleaged public at the time of this recording. I suppose there were a lot of people asking themselves "What happened to us ? Why don't they wear long dresses anymore ?"
Alan Freed had heard of this song I am sure and pulled it out of his TURD BUCKET HAT and made a fortune....luckily he lost it all.
Luckily? What did he do that was so bad that he deserved to lose his fortune?
Methinks they invented the term "rock and roll", which they also use in another song as I recall......!
Infuriate your pals by showing them that the first rock and roll record was by a 1930s era girl vocal group.
Wonder where Michael Jackson got the idea? I think from this clip.
Can anybody figure out what they are saying at the very beginning? It sounds a little like "son of a gun, rock and roll, son of a ..yeah!" That doesn't make a lot of sense. Anybody figure it out?
They’re saying “Ba da da da, rock and roll! Ba da da da, yeah!”
they invented rock n roll and they were also smooth criminals
This is FABULOUS! What's happened to us? We have completely lost this sense of style and sophistication. It used to be that you didn't step out of your house without wearing a respectable outfit. Now, it seems flip-flops and ratty jeans are de rigeur.
