The King Of Rock'n'Roll?

[assari]

"Rock'n'Roll is simple, genuine and sexually explicit youth music..."

That's how it usually described, but it is certainly much more than just that.


This is my lists;

1. Chuck Berry

2. Little Richard

3. Elvis Presley

4. Jerry Lee Lewis

5. Pat Boone :sunny:

What about Bill Haley and Sam the Sham? They deserve at least an honorable mention.

There is none really.
Rock is an evolution who's evolvement was contributed to by many many people.

Elvis stole Rock n' Roll from Little Richard.....honky thief!

Elvis is, was and shall always be the King of Rock & Roll. Not a huge listener, but he was the man. And if this thread devolves into his condition in his final years, let's see how you would handle being a demi-god. I know I wouldn't last long.

Yes and there is so many others, but people usually say that Chuck Berry is king of rock'n'roll and they are right.

Yes, Rock'n'Roll is black music.

Elvis is, was and shall always be the King of Rock & Roll.

Elvis was a great performer and singer.

He was honest and genuine.

Replace Pat Boone with Link Wray, and the list is correct.

I thought Chuck Berry got his ideas from Michael J Fox?

I often ponder what would have happened to Rock & Roll if Chuck Berry hadn't received a phone call from his cousin on that fateful night.

Pat Boone is not Rock'n'Roll singer.

It was meant for a joke.

Same with Kurt Cobain.

agreed. the music has evolved over the years and its been thanks to alot of different people

 

[BoboBrowne]

Any list that puts Little Richard above Elvis is immediately invalidated.

Unless the list is about guys who have sucked more cock.
