Roy Brown - Good Rockin' Tonight '1982; 2022

Tracks list

       When you draw up a short list of the R&B pioneers who exerted a primary
influence on the development of rock & roll, respectfully place singer Roy
Brown's name near its very top. His seminal 1947 DeLuxe Records waxing of "Good
Rockin' Tonight" was immediately ridden to the peak of the R&B charts by shouter
Wynonie Harris and subsequently covered by Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Jerry
Lee Lewis, and many more early rock icons (even Pat Boone). In addition, Brown's
melismatical pleading, gospel-steeped delivery impacted the vocal styles of B.B.
King, Bobby Bland, and Little Richard (among a plethora of important singers).
Clearly, Roy Brown was an innovator — and from 1948-1951, an R&B star
whose wild output directly presaged rock's rise.
