Big Joe Turner (1911-1985) started as a singing bartender in Kansas City in the old days of formative Rhythm and Blues. He pioneered his own hip style and could be compelled by a paternity test to provide for his love-child that used to go by the name of 'Rock & Roll', a term that has vulgar origins among the so-called jive-talk of the 1940's as in the phase: "lets rock & roll all night long". Anyway, Big Joe is the man, and is not to be taken lightly. Please get down with this selection from long after he had made his name and made history.
