Big Joe Turner ~ Shake, Rattle and Roll

45 RPM single  

Seventy years ago, on February 15, 1954, Big Joe Turner recorded the original Rhythm & Blues classic, Shake, Rattle and Roll. The song was written by Jesse Stone (usually credited as "Charles Calhoun", his songwriting name) and first recorded that year by Big Joe Turner, whose version ranked No. 127 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.             

 

The phrase had been used in earlier songs. In 1910, vaudeville performer "Baby" Franklin Seals published You Got to Shake, Rattle and Roll, a ragtime tune about gambling with dice, in New Orleans; in 1919, Al Bernard recorded a version of the song.
