The Early Years

Important acronyms, performers for today’s session Rock and Roll is a fusion of musical styles/trends Two „tributaries” – RB a.k.a. Rhythm and Blues – CW a.k.a. Country and Western Performers – Elvis (and Big Mama) – The Shadows – Little Richard (and Illés)

The King -Elvis Natural-born talent, grew up in poor white family, Memphis, Tenesse – Initially very shy, taunted as „mama’s boy” – Never learnt to read musical notes – Watched/listened to many black musicians Key to success: managers/business wanted white man playing black music: Radio listeners thought he was black. Early, but extremely professionaly made colour video clip of Jailhouse Rock, 1957 – Sex symbol: „Elvis the pelvis” – – A website I use a lot, but there are a lot of silly comments too: – A prison is mysterious, and certinly not fun, but ??? „This song is about rapists, drug addicts, and convicted terrorists…” ???

Elvis, at the top and in decline Long career, but most top chart success in the late 50s and less so in the 60s, and few before his death in – Making films: an actor as well? A distraction? – Inescapable Christmas songs/albums A great voice and an „interpreter” – Almost never sang his own songs (contributions, yes) – strange examples, e.g. Hound Dog, – Earlier performer Big Mama Thornton, Lbs 350, – Interesting parallel: E’s version more rock, while Big Mama’s is more blues. Awkward for a man to sing a song specially crafted, by the famous Leiber – stoller duo, for an early feminist ? Woman? – White rabbit? – Contrast: Hungarian Illés advocated for bands to write their own songs as early as 1964! – What’s the difference between a gigolo, a pimp, an escort, a kept woman and a pin-up female?

Hound Dog, slang for a gigolo You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie You know they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit You ain't no friend of mine

The Shadows Singer Cliff Richard’s back-up band Mostly instrumental songs – untypical? Mostly covers, like Elvis. The Shadows’ Apache, 1960 – RD2izTbEyxg0A#t=21 RD2izTbEyxg0A#t=21 – Might have been soundtrack in a „macaroni Western”, eh? Active until very recently, Riders in the Sky, 1980 – rs&list=RD2izTbEyxg0A&index=9 rs&list=RD2izTbEyxg0A&index=9

Little Richard (born Penniman) American singer, songwriter, musician, eccentric and – rock „influencer”. – Showman and clown, too: Good Golly, Miss Molly, RDGsJVT8Jr_pM RDGsJVT8Jr_pM Long Tally Sally, 1956 – Covered by the Kinks, the Beatles (both 1964) and many others and was referred to (had a song written about him) by Hungarian Illés (1967) – Song about casual sex, made out to be terribly fast so that a rival, Pat Boone would be unable to cover it. – Different levels of interpretation

Long Tall Sally Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John, He claim he has the misery but he's havin' a lot of fun, Oh baby, yeah baby, woo Havin' me some fun tonight yeah Well long, tall Sally She's built for speed, she got Everything that Uncle John need, oh baby, Yeah baby, woo baby, Havin' me some fun tonight yeah Well, I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally.
