This is the music that was played in my house from the time I was born until I was around 5. My parents loved Louis Jordan; they'd be laughing about his lyrics. I've been listening to almost everything he's done and I've bought several compilations in the last few weeks. Some of his songs are really funny. I finally see what they were laughing about. He's gone; my parents are gone, but this music rages on. He was the consummate performer. I love him.

Rock and roll goes back to the boogie-woogie years of the early 1900s, but since I found out about Louis Jordan, I feel that he played a huge part in making it popular in the 40s. Such talent, musician and showman. He deserves a lot more credit.

I would say Louis Jordan is the father of rock and roll, jazz as we know it today, and rap ("Beware!", "Look Out". "Pettn' n' Pokin'"). All the music he played hadn't come out yet. It's amazing listening to him - reminds me of the scene in Back to the Future where Marty was playing rock and roll and he said to the dude, "Your kids are gonna love it." Louis Jordan was the future. He was amazing! Yes he was.
