Listened to Fats on the Black Radio stations ( Going to the River )back in 53 before he was played on the major ones

But Chuck Berry was bigger than he was IMHO

Actually Berry was shunned by the black audiences as too country

BUT the first Rock and Roller was Hank Williams

James Brown was a big Country fan. He called it the White man's blues.
