I’m sorry

This song right here in my honest opinion started it all

Although it had company to be sure

March 3 , 1951

Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm.......who recorded under a pseudonym

From Clarksdale Mississippi

A man much maligned in later years but truly this was it

The first real rock and roll song

It was inevitable with so much pushing sound that way from the time electricity became common and most of that influence centered within 150 miles of where Ike recorded 88

A lot of stuff is called rock and roll that ain’t rock and roll

Since its early days
