Big Joe Turner did the original of this song in 1954. But the most famous version is by "Bill Haley & The Comets" in the same year. Even Elvis Presley recorded a version of it in 1956.
I recall one line to this song where Big Joe sings, "Way you wear those dresses the sun comes shining through. I can't believe all that mess belongs to you." Whoa! Go Big Joe!
Joseph Vernon "Big Joe" Turner Jr.(5/18/1911-11/24/1985) of Kansas City, Missouri blues shooter one of the great of rock and roll which some say would never had happened if not for him in 50's. "SHACK,RATTLE AND ROLL" one of his big hits his career endured from 1920's- the 1980's
You are witnessing the time when jazz/blues gave birth to rock n roll! God bless them for leading the way into the two greatest decades in music history!
Big Joe's great. Another early Rock n' Roll song, many say this is the first Rock n' Roll song, Rocket “88” by released in 1951 by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats. Ike Turner of Ike and Tina Turner was a member of this band.
Big Joe Turner was rock and roll before rock and roll. When you're ready for more from him check out "Flip, Flop & Fly" (1955) and "Corrine, Corrina" (1956) along with many others. And for more in that style also check out some of these: Larry Williams "Marie Marie", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "Bad Boy"; and LaVern Baker "Jim Dandy", "See See Rider", and "Tweedle Dee" along with many others.
Man, this guy is good. I never heard this. I always thought Bill Haley and the Comets came up with this song, which was the start of rock and roll about 1955-1956. This is a great fine by you guys.
One of the truly great early R&B/Boogie Woogie performers. Joe was an original, unlike many of the imitators and appropriators that followed. Now Joe was far from the originator of the blues, but he was at the forefront the incorporation of Boogie Woogie into early R&R.
Great! Happy to see this performance. You couldn't fake it back then. These were such Talented singers and fantastic musicians. So from Joe Turner to Tina Turner. Try Tina Turner live at Wembley Simply the Best. Check out the enormous crowd and Energy for one of the Best herself. I think you both will love her performance Thanks bob
I was 4 yrs old, my Uncle used to dance to this he loved Rock and Roll he used to go in dance competitions and then taught Rock n Roll in the evenings where he met his wife , great fun
I remember my Mother would tell me and brother to get cleaned up and dressed cuz she was taking us somewhere, and she’d say Shake Rattle and Roll! Let’s go!😂❤️😜
"Corrina Corrina" and "Honey Hush" are other of his songs that transition blues to rock and roll. Also, his studio version of Shake Rattle and Roll is MUCH more lively and MUCH MUCH MUCH more sexually dirty.
You guys are my favorite reactors. You always pick outside of the box and grab great stuff I would never expect other reactors to do. You should do Ruth Brown Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean for some great early rock and roll from a pioneering female.
The blues was around before the 1950s. Robert Johnson was one of early blues pioneers. Blues was full of sexual innuendos. Rock and Roll is a blues term for sex and the blues gave birth to the genre rock and roll.
The blues has been around for years. I have some blues records on 78 from the early 1920's and I know it was being sung many years before that. Love the blues
Merle Haggard's "That's the way it was in 51". This is a great "yesterday" song. Please, play this one for Merle. He is an icon of the Country sound, back then. Thank you!
Before there was Fat Joe or Big Punisher, there was Big Joe! Big Joe Turner! He really knew how to shake, rattle, and roll and how to flip flop and fly! That was REAL Rock n' Roll!
I just love both of you'll chemistry and lovey doveyness. It makes me want to throw up🤮😁 I love it 😍 I think you guys will love THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS and CAB CALLOWAY ( Do the one in color).....🔥🔥🔥🔥
Other songs to check out from Big Joe-Flip flop and Fly, the Chicken and the Hawk and Honey Hush. Other notable early r&B hits-Wynonie Harris-Good Rockin Tonight, Quiet Whiskey and Sittin On It all the time. Roy Brown-Rockin At Midnight and the Chords Sh-Boom.
Please react to: *Cab Calloway & his Band - Geechy Joe - Stormy Weather (1943)* ruclips.net/video/RlE-Zv4Pyhk/видео.html This is from the movie Stormy Weather where he's wearing clothing that's iconic and controversial. It even caused what's known as the Zoot Suit Riots of the 40s. Zoot Suiters (pachucos) had their own style of walking, a unique way of taking a pose and their own jive language
For people who claim not to have much familiarity with the music of the period, it's uncanny how often you choose exactly the right songs. This is certainly one of them. You didn't even fall into the trap of choosing a lesser cover of the song. Good work! Listen to the studio version sometime, thought. It's a bit cleaner.
Bill Haley had cleaned up Big Joes original lyrics but this live TV version also has safer lyrics - you must listen to the words in Big Joes original version on record!
Turner has cleaned up the lyrics for this performance, his original lyrics were far more suggestive. Way you wear those dresses The sun comes shinin' through Way you wear those dresses The sun comes shinin' through I can't believe my eyes All that mess belongs to you.
Big Joe Turner is the father of rock and roll please do a review of my favorite song of his called honey hush.. & make the Subject of the video BIGGER !
There's no electric guitar and no amp.Even if the first guitar amp was made in the early thirties,there must be a long time before people,musicians included,became used to them .Anyway,Big Joe Turner,a great stylish singer is there and it's a pleasure!
I've been trying to get people to react to big Joe for months. Thank you! You are the first. Now do Boogie Woogie Country Girl: ruclips.net/video/FQsQ01cffLM/видео.html It was used as the theme song for the movie Lakawana Blues:
Here's a history lesson about race and music, this was the original and it was super popular but after a white artist copied it, they stopped playing the BLACK artist version
I wouldnt call this the Blues. Back then the Blues was more Southern. This was more like Big Band or Jazz Orchestra. Cant say I heard this version before. Was only 6 in 1954.
Blues was/is a big tent - if you think about what WC Handy was doing, or Bessie Smith, Ma Rainie, etc., it was just as close to the "Big Band or Jazz Orchestra" stuff - you can't say Louis Armstrong didn't play Blues when he played Blues. Then there's that really slick brand of Chicago stuff people like B.B. King were doing in the 'fifties ......
This is rock and roll, undisturbed. Rock and roll pure and pharmacy grade.

Theses guys are the originators, pioneers, progenitors.... They kicked off the R&R movement...

Wow, glad you are listening to Big Joe. Love the sound.
I was raised on this music. Still love it.
One of the truly great early R&B/Boogie Woogie performers. Joe was an original, unlike many of the imitators and appropriators that followed. Now Joe was far from the originator of the blues, but he was at the forefront the incorporation of Boogie Woogie into early R&R.
In the early days people had to have talent to make it. Wonderful pick and reaction.
Great! Happy to see this performance. You couldn't fake it back then. These were such Talented singers and fantastic musicians. So from Joe Turner to Tina Turner. Try Tina Turner live at Wembley Simply the Best. Check out the enormous crowd and Energy for one of the Best herself. I think you both will love her performance Thanks bob
I was 4 yrs old, my Uncle used to dance to this he loved Rock and Roll he used to go in dance competitions and then taught Rock n Roll in the evenings where he met his wife , great fun
I saw him at Disneyland and he was great.
4 years old!! Learned about Big Joe of course not til years later! A devil in nylons!! Just love this kind of foolin' around.
Big Joe Turner WOW!! he,s awesome. great reaction too guys.
Simply a legend who should have more light shining on em...Easy to hear the influences in bands that came later...Stray Cats anyone?
Original singer of the that great song, the rest cover it. Elvis , and Bill Hailey and the comets. Classic song and great singer. Big Joe Turner.
I remember my Mother would tell me and brother to get cleaned up and dressed cuz she was taking us somewhere, and she’d say Shake Rattle and Roll! Let’s go!😂❤️😜
Born in 1954. Learned about these people as quickly as I could.
You are the same age as my first and second wives. I was born in 1945.
This is the roots of rock 'n' roll. Jazz, swing, blues and an element of the big band sound that was prominent a decade earlier.
I believe that this performance was at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem
"Corrina Corrina" and "Honey Hush" are other of his songs that transition blues to rock and roll. Also, his studio version of Shake Rattle and Roll is MUCH more lively and MUCH MUCH MUCH more sexually dirty.
Honey Hush, also known as Hi Ho Silver, recorded by early Fleetwood Mac and by Paul McCartney.
Is it not ridiculous...so so much amazing music out there!!!
You guys are my favorite reactors. You always pick outside of the box and grab great stuff I would never expect other reactors to do. You should do Ruth Brown Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean for some great early rock and roll from a pioneering female.
You're right,I agree with you.They're not afraid by the vintage sounds.
This is the earliest version of this song I've ever heard. I love it 🥰
This is Jump Blues. Joe shouted the blues.
That’s what you call a blues SHOUTER!!
You need to react to Big Mama Thornton. “They call me Big Mama”She did the original recording of Hound Dog before Elvis Presley
One of the early architects of Rock and Roll along with Louis Jordan.
The blues was around before the 1950s. Robert Johnson was one of early blues pioneers. Blues was full of sexual innuendos. Rock and Roll is a blues term for sex and the blues gave birth to the genre rock and roll.
Godfather of rock and roll
We, as black people, are the music.
Hold on, here you go!! Your gonna get up and dance😎😎😎
First time seeing this video and mst be an original , I Love this so much
BIG JOE TURNER❤
The blues has been around for years. I have some blues records on 78 from the early 1920's and I know it was being sung many years before that. Love the blues
If you like Joe you'll love big mama Thornton doing hound dog, Which Elvis heard her do
i second this....it's just waiting for their reaction.
Joe was amazing
Merle Haggard's "That's the way it was in 51". This is a great "yesterday" song. Please, play this one for Merle. He is an icon of the Country sound, back then. Thank you!
Shake,rattle and roll extreme 2023
it was always said that Big Joe was loud enough to not need microphones back then he could be clearly heard over an large orchestra like Count Basie's
Before there was Fat Joe or Big Punisher, there was Big Joe! Big Joe Turner! He really knew how to shake, rattle, and roll and how to flip flop and fly! That was REAL Rock n' Roll!
I just love both of you'll chemistry and lovey doveyness. It makes me want to throw up🤮😁 I love it 😍 I think you guys will love THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS and CAB CALLOWAY ( Do the one in color).....🔥🔥🔥🔥
50s & 60s❤
love that song. many have covered it
It’s one of the reasons it was called Rock and ROLL.
Other songs to check out from Big Joe-Flip flop and Fly, the Chicken and the Hawk and Honey Hush. Other notable early r&B hits-Wynonie Harris-Good Rockin Tonight, Quiet Whiskey and Sittin On It all the time. Roy Brown-Rockin At Midnight and the Chords Sh-Boom.

Big Mama Thornton - You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog 1952. You’ll love it.
Big Joe was the start of rock and roll listen to LaVern baker another great sounds
Yeah! Love Big Joe, the band and the song)) Recommend for another show: Dinah Washington - Keys to the Highway)) You'll like it!
The Temptations - I wish it would rain would be a good song to react to.
You guys are just the best when we come to B town want to take you to dinner at the inner harbor
Love his honey hush and Ruth brown momma he treats your daughter mean
I remember a game I used to play on Nintendo called Snake, Rattle and Roll.🤣
Great video! Check out Mississippi John Hurt doin Stagger Lee (1956 ?), this is Blues, as well Big Mamma Thornton ~ 1955 - ‘65 she sings the Blues !!😻
Jumpin’ !
🔥🔥🔥🔥
do not know much about his music but i liked it
He sounded more like the father of Rock and Roll!
Please listen to the late, great Otis Rush. He had a fantastic bluesy-gospel voice, as in "A Fool For You," "Homework," ...
The lyrics in the Bill Haley version were watered down but this live version by Big Joe are also safer than his original on record - take a listen!!
Yes please listen to the original!
☮️💜
You need to check out Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers in Jumpin Jive your be in for a real treat with this one..
I was going to say the same thing, the dancing is out of this world, and Cab Calloway is amazing

You didn't even fall into the trap of choosing a lesser cover of the song. Good work! Listen to the studio version sometime, thought. It's a bit cleaner.
another song you should review is one by Big Joe and his principal rival in blues shouting Wynonie Harris, called Battle of the Blues
And "shake, rattle, & roll" became "rock 'n' roll" - just like that. If a person can't move to this song, they must be dead.
Check out Laverne Baker "Tweedlee Dee".
Better yet, Jim Dandy.
I've heard the version by "Bill Haley and The Comets," but not this one.
you should also hear the other version of this by Bill Haley
You could dip back to 1947 and Louis Jordan and "Caldonia"
Bill Haley had cleaned up Big Joes original lyrics but this live TV version also has safer lyrics - you must listen to the words in Big Joes original version on record!
One for Canada,Sweet City Woman by The STAMPEDERS 1973.
Turner has cleaned up the lyrics for this performance, his original lyrics were far more suggestive.
Way you wear those dresses
The sun comes shinin' through
Way you wear those dresses
The sun comes shinin' through
I can't believe my eyes
All that mess belongs to you.
Tina Turner&David Bowie Lets Dance video!!!
Big Joe Turner is the father of rock and roll please do a review of my favorite song of his called honey hush.. & make the Subject of the video BIGGER !
Elvis sang this too. Nice to hear more than one version. Compare . Thank you.
Big Joe Turner was not the father of blues... Blues music goes back into the 1800s... However big Joe was a great artist...
This version is the tone down one, listen to his original version had different rancher words, he's been around since the 1930s,
Rick James& Tina Marie VIDEO!
There's no electric guitar and no amp.Even if the first guitar amp was made in the early thirties,there must be a long time before people,musicians included,became used to them .Anyway,Big Joe Turner,a great stylish singer is there and it's a pleasure!
Try Cat Squirrel by Doctor Ross for some good ole up tempo blues
I've been trying to get people to react to big Joe for months. Thank you! You are the first.
Now do Boogie Woogie Country Girl: ruclips.net/video/FQsQ01cffLM/видео.html It was used as the theme song for the movie Lakawana Blues:
please try Ivory Joe Hunter (Since i met you baby /Empty Arms / A Tear fell / A Girl i used to know ) Ela Mae Morse ( House Of Blue Lights ) 1945
Please react to this you will love it Big Momma Thornton Hound Dog 1965
you do know what was meant "a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store", right?
Hi there try the manhattans kiss and say goodbye classic 70 s
If you get a change review Jr. Walker and the All-stars Shake and finger pop
Checkout elvisshake rattle n roll
Big Joe was great but I believe Bill Haley and The Comets covered this and in my opinion is a much better sound. Review it and you tell us.
Check out Amos Milburn- Bad bad whiskey
