Spot on @ Uncle_Clanger ! The real 'Kings of Rock & Roll' where the likes of Fats, Chuck Berry, Little Richard etc. Elvis Presley was simply white, in the right place at the right time, had a good manager and was the first real 'teenager's pop star'.

Yeah,but he had a great voice, and his early stuff, 'That's Alright Mama' etc. was good!
Oh to have been a fly on the wall during those early recording sessions!..... No Pro Tools etc. then!



Bonzo.

Can only say " Ain't that a shame" . I was, and still am a big fan of the late 50's Rock and Roll legends. Sadly with Chuck and now Fats, these headlines are going to come thick and fast.

Johnny Cash had the same problems until he found his "niche". He toured on the same "caravan " as Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins etc. great times.

Yep, They called them 'The Million Dollar Quartet.' Those guys, Chuck Berry and Little Richard started it all!

I have to say that I thought that Fats Domino was a class above his contempories along with Ray Charles and Nat King Cole. I did not really appreciate how good they were until fairly recently when I came to realise that for me Radio 1 is a no go zone and Radio 2 is better than a sleeping pill for getting me to nod off. Good old Radio 4 has gone the way of all BBC media and is nothing but a brain washing channel so my old cd's are getting some hammer. I used to love Radio 4.
