Joe Turner:
• Shake Rattle And Roll – A founding document of rock and roll. Get out of that bed! Sings Joe. Wash your face and hands! Rendered pale by Bill Haley: Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. That loping rhythm doesn’t hurt any either. “Baby you make me grit my teeth!"
• The Chicken And The Hawk – We gonna fly all day sings Joe, in a tribute to whatever it is birds do…
• Corrine Corrina – From the spring of 1956, just missed the top 40. I’m not sure why the name is different each time. Maybe it’s her full name. A hit later for Ray Peterson, and Bob Dylan put it on his second album. Bill Haley covered it with his comets, also.
• Midnight Special Train – The R & B version. A hit in 1960 for Paul Evans, popular among folk and R&B artists.
