music is great it fuses every one together no matter there race or creed. People lighten up on who did what. Music is good I say we should give credit to both black and whites for making this sound just leave us natives alone aparently we did nothing for music.... get over your selves people.
I love rockabilly, but with all due respect to all the great artists,all the documentary,s and conversations Ive ever heard pertaining to the subject, The one person always overlooked and never mentioned is rick nelson, rick sold more rockabilly records than anyone with the exception of elvis. If you want to here the best give a listen to Rick's milk cow blues,my buckets got a hole in it, believe what you say,my one desire,now even covered by The stray cats!
This ALL came from the Blues. I will try to dig up some old stuff, but you can hear JC's rhythms in old 1920's delta stuff. Like the evolution of anything, from that came Rag, Swing, Traditional Country, etc. Those gave rise to other 'genres' like Rock n Roll, Modern Jazz, Modern Blues, Modern Country and so on. Music became more complex. Playing a flat5 might have gotten you killed in the 1300's. Wanda Jackson said it right.
B7aug5 No it did not!!! It’s a confluence of cultures. Not only blues, but Appalachian with its antecedents in the British Isles, and Latin culture, too. The harmonic changes in blues music come from European church music.
But Leo Fender brought all this into the spotlight in 1950's with his ELECTRIC guitars - (got my first Tele in 1957 along with his Pro Amp) yeah, it's Blues, R & B, GOSPEL, country, etc...but listen to the dif when that electric guitar comes in - thanks to Luther, Chuck, Buddy, Bo, Chet, et al. Think of the voices that were brought out by that back up electric Tele' or Strat..
No lo he entendido bien,pero la música rockabilly es la mezcla de la música negra afroamericana como el blues y el rhytm and blues ,incluso gospel y boogie-woogie con la musica blanca, hillbilly- country.La música rockabilly es mestiza por tanto. Saludos.
Lo he escuchado de nuevo y si dice que es esa combinación, pero el rock and roll primero es afroamericano, después se mezcló con la música blanca y la música rockabilly también es mestiza.
Primeros temas rockin son el blues it,s tigh like that de Tampa Red o el gospel de Sister Rosseta Tharpe: This train de 1939 o el boogie woogie Pinetop boogie de 1928 de Clarence Smith o Good rockin tonight de Wynonie Harries, un rhytm anb blues,después estos tipos de música se mezclaron con el hillbilly-country blancos y nació el segundo tipo de rock and roll mestizo y rockabilly mestizo.
La canción de Tampa Red es de 1928, hay muchos blues,gospels y rhytm and blues que suenan a rockin, antes que Elvis y demás chicos y chicas blancos.Saludos de una chica rocker-rockabilly.
@mr7thDay You can give credit were credit is due,as I initially did when I said rock and roll is a compilation of all the worlds music or you can be an immature raciest standing for the black race.Then we can fight till the end.Its your choice.
XYZ123, Black people instruments included more that drums. The banjo is from Mali West Africa. The slaves brought it with them. The banjo is NOT a European instrument.
The slaves were not passengers, I don't believe they were allowed to bring baggage, they probably built banjos themselves on memories, just an opinion.
yea, a good friend of mine and playing partner of 15 years, played with Joe Turner. When you listen to guys like Blind Arthur Blake, you can hear rock n roll, too. For anyone who hasn't listened to Blind Blake, do so.
It's always been a 'give and take' since day 1--even when "Dixieland" music was created it was by black AND white southerners playing white European designed band instruments. Even the basic Banjo and Drum was combined with the frame construction of Euro design to bring it up to the durable, dependable and professional-grade serious musical instrument that they both became--and we're still making improvements to this day!
Por mais que o tempo passa, terminamos nos voltando para traz, nos transportamos para década de '50' , e vemos aí os pioneiros que nso fizeram balançar, isso dos pés a cabeça, etc., maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
The middle 50's was an extraordinary era for American Country/rock music. It brought R&B and country music to the greater white Americam public. It's the basis for all rock music to-day.
British documentaries are always of the highest quality--they tend to be more meticulous, making sure that nobody gets left out--like the American rockabilly documentary producers always do to Bill Haley. Thanks for posting this great clip!
El rock and roll primero es afroamericano, desde los años 20 se oye en algunas canciones de blues como It,s tigh like that de Tampa Red de 1928 o el gospel This train de Sister Rosseta Tharpe de 1939, o Good rockin tonight de Wynonie Harries en 1947, un rhytm and blues,por citar unas pocas, estos tipos de música se mezclaron con la música hillbilly,country blanca y ya nació el mestizo rock and roll y mestizo rockabilly de Elvis,Carl Perkins,Gene Vincent...,pero los primeros rockin son música afroamericana. Es absurdo ser racista y que te guste esta música por tanto. Saludos de una rocker-rockabilly.
In the music business there is no racial prejudice.Its always other professions. It works both ways-blacks recorded white music (country) and whites recorded black music
yeah surely rockabilly was before rnr as it comes from rocked up country/blues mr perkins ect ect i asked a 65 year old guy whos into rnr rockabilly big time he got everthing he said rockabilly got to be a three piece no piano!just gonna play some b5's on my geetar
Rock and roll is a compilation of all the music in the world.Black and white Americans together are equally responsible for the greatest music ever made!
Rock n roll was the music, rockabilly was the special touch and style added to the era, and by the way it'll never die.
Rock n Roll music first class, Rockabilly, blues'shouters Do wop skiffle love it all from a Teddy Boy 🎼🎶🎵🎼📻
No better time to be alive, rock and roll along with rockabilly, the girls, the cars, all the guys were cool cats!

My buckets got a hole in it was originally by Hank Williams Sr
Agree!

Did he say the combination of country and R&B? Black folks music.
Country has roots in hillbilly music. Not black.

wow rockabilly really makes people angry. maybe there should be MA ratings on rockabilly cds.
@mr7thDay You can give credit were credit is due,as I initially did when I said rock and roll is a compilation of all the worlds music or you can be an immature raciest standing for the black race.Then we can fight till the end.Its your choice.
That last song didn't sound like Rockabilly, but thats ok :p
Some of you racist rockabilly singers today hate that rockabilly has blues and r&b roots.
Country was the roots of rockabilly not the other way around.

Simple: If you love RocknRoll, you cant be racist.
Lol dude racism is evrrywhere, accept it. It's just not scientifically sound, even though it may seem logical.
