Forget Chuck Berry (not really), Louis Jordan was the first Rock 'n' Roller.

I thought this was the real begining of rock n roll. LJ was playing this music back to the late 40s. Amid others who were making what I considered the roots of rock n roll

Please, people! That's no rock and roll! Rock and roll came about when white people started playing R&B. Louis Jordan and all those Musicians preceded rock and roll by decades. So, please! Stop calling it rock and roll!

As a fan of rock music, this man is one of my heroes. I have loved Louis Jordan since the first time I heard Cho Cho Cha Boogie. This man and many others like him (black people, blues and jazz focused, ignored, and ripped off) started it all baby, it was called "jump blues" back then, but we know what it became. Mr. Jordan is one of maybe 10 people I'd love to just go back in time, have a beer and shoot the shit with him. What an icon!!!! He had the chops, the energy, the songs, the swag and the showmanship to set the bar that few since have been able to get to.

Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans Then you can understand just what I mean All through the week, it's quiet as a mouse But on Saturday night, they go from house to house You don't have to pay the usual admission If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician So if you happen to be just passin' by Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn Now my buddy and me was on the main stem Foolin' around just me and him We decided we could use a little something to eat So we went to a house on Rampart Street We knocked on the door and it opened up with ease And a lush little miss said, "Come in, please" And before we could even bat an eye We were right in the middle of a big fish fry It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn Now the folks was havin' the time of their life And Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife Over in the corner was a beat up grand Being played by a big fat piano man Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks Some of them had on bobbie socks But everybody was nice and high At this particular Saturday Night Fish Fry It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin' The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin' And way up above all the noise they made Somebody hollered, "Better get out of here, this is a raid" Now I didn't know we was breakin' the law But somebody reached up and hit me on the jaw They had us blocked off from the front to the back And they was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potato sacks It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn I knew I could get away if I had a chance But I was shakin' like I had the St. Vitus dance Now I tried to crawl under a bathtub When the policeman said, "Where you goin' there, bub?" Now they got us out of there like a house afire Put us all in that Black Maria Now, they might have missed a pitiful few But they got poor me and my buddy too It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn We headed for jail in a dazed condition They booked each one of us on suspicion Now my chick came down and went for my bail And finally got me out of that rotten jail Now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Saturday night fish fry I don't care how many fish in the sea But don't ever mention a fish to me It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn Give me one of them, their fish sandwiches Get away from there, boy, yowza

The worst part of Ken Burn's "Jazz" series on PBS was the three minute dissing of Louis Jordan. WHY ken, WHY? Louis is the GODFATHER of R&B and Rock and Roll. No Louie? . . . No Chuck.
