That same left-hand figure from 30's boogie woogie echoed forward to the late 1940's, combined with other musical elements formed early Rock 'n roll - the stuff I grew up with.
@@mackgrout Had a 45 on Atlantic of early Ray Charles: "Blackjack" side A, and "Greenbacks" on side B. Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis,Gene Vincent, Elvis: when he was recording with Sam Phillips, Johnny Otis. I grew up in Upstate N.Y. In the early '50's there was a D.J. out of WKBW in Buffalo named George Lorenz, who called himself The Hound Dog. I listened every night. He was one of the first D.J.'s, like Allan Freed in N.Y., who were bringing black music from the "race stations" into mainstream broadcast. This is where I heard great recordings like "Love Is Strange" by Mikey & Sylvia, and "Goin' To Kansas City" By Wilbert Harris.
@@mrfudd13 Wow that is awesome, I love learning about old time D.J.'s - now we can listen to whatever we want whenever we want online, but with radio we all had to listen to D.J. curated playlists (for better or worse!) and it definitely added a whole different dimension to the music listening process.
@@mackgrout Aside from the classical stations, there was mainly popular mainstream music: Crooners from the swing era; Sinatra, Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Julius LaRosa, Eddie Fischer. Groups like The Chordets, The Andrews Sisters, The Hi Low's, and the more successful swing bands. Then Rock n' Roll started creeping in. That's when the ASCAP - BMI war broke out.
