Good to see the Isley Brothers and Jackie Wilson in there.

But where's Eddie Cochran?
'C'mon Everybody', 'Summertime Blues', '3 Steps To Heaven' and 'Somethin' Else'.

All essential for the 50's.

Thanks, an obvious oversight on my part.

YouTube - Eddie Cochran - C'mon Everybody

Eddie Cochran's influence on future bands shouldn't be overlooked.

His Gretsch guitar has a story to tell too...

The car and other items from the crash were impounded at the local police station until a coroners' inquest could be held.
At that time, David Harman, later known as Dave Dee of the band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, was a police cadet at the station, and taught himself to play guitar on Eddie's impounded Gretsch.

Strangely enough, an unknown rock 'n' roll fan called Mark Feld had carried the same guitar to the limo from a London gig the night before.
Feld later changed his name to Marc Bolan and became one of the stars of the British Glam Rock scene of the 1970s.
Marc Bolan also died in a car crash in 1977. wiki.

Let's just say you're wrong about everything and move on.

I don't want to argue about trivial things like genres. I lived through the era and those songs are a big part of what got my older siblings and their friends into Rock and Roll. Check Wikipedia for the Blueberry Hill information as well as the Jackie Brenston stuff. That's just one of many sites that cover it. As for your "I already knew that" replies very annoying and condescending. You kind of suck dude! But much love nonetheless.

Fats Domino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here one's link that in a matter of a few paragraphs shreds most of your seemingly pointless arguments. Your posts in this thread remind me of the only poster on here I don't enjoy.

I'm with you JayJam

^This is coming from the same guy who told us the Byrds recorded an album in 1963.

I would think a man your age could debate without making personal attacks.

I asked for a source that is nationally recognized as an authority on music. Wikipedia is a non-expert source, that allows virtually anybody to write and edit articles on virtually any topic, regardless of whether or not they possess any expertise whatsoever.

Fats Domino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Here one's link that in a matter of a few paragraphs shreds most of your seemingly pointless arguments. Your posts in this thread remind me of the only poster on here I don't enjoy."

Actually, your own non-expert article shreds your own arguments. And I'm not concerned whether you or anybody else here "enjoys" me.

From your own source, emphasis mine:

Domino's version of "Blueberry Hill" is CLASSIC R&B.

The above is pretty much all the Wikipedia article says about "Blueberry Hill". The song is nothing more than an uptempo R&B remake of a song first recorded in the early 40's.
