Joseph Vernon "Big Joe" Turner Jr. (May 18, 1911 - November 24, 1985) was an American blues shouter from Kansas City, Missouri. According to songwriter Doc Pomus, "Rock and roll would have never happened without him." His greatest fame was due to his rock-and-roll recordings in the 1950s, particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll", but his career as a performer endured from the 1920s into the 1980s.
Turner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, with the Hall lauding him as "the brawny voiced 'Boss of the Blues'".
Turner was born May 18, 1911 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. His father was killed in a train accident when Turner was four years old. He sang in his church, and on street corners for money. He left school at age fourteen to work in Kansas City's nightclubs, first as a cook and later as a singing bartender. He became known as "The Singing Barman", and worked in such venues as the Kingfish Club and the Sunset, where he and his partner, the boogie-woogie pianist Pete Johnson, became resident performers. The Sunset was managed by Piney Brown. It featured "separate but equal" facilities for white patrons. Turner wrote "Piney Brown Blues" in his honor and sang it throughout his career.
At that time Kansas City nightclubs were subject to frequent raids by the police; Turner said, "The Boss man would have his bondsmen down at the police station before we got there. We'd walk in, sign our names and walk right out. Then we would cabaret until morning."
His partnership with Johnson proved fruitful. Together they went to New York City in 1936, where they appeared on a playbill with Benny Goodman, but as Turner recounted, "After our show with Goodman, we auditioned at several places, but New York wasn't ready for us yet, so we headed back to K.C." Eventually they were seen by the talent scout John Hammond in 1938, who invited them back to New York to appear in one of his From Spirituals to Swing concerts at Carnegie Hall, which were instrumental in introducing jazz and blues to a wider American audience.
In part because of their appearance at Carnegie Hall, Turner and Johnson had a major success with the song "Roll 'Em Pete". The track was basically a collection of traditional blues lyrics. It was a song that Turner recorded many times, with various musicians, over the ensuing years.
Big Joe Turner (* 18. Mai 1911 in Kansas City, Missouri; † 24. November 1985 in Inglewood, Kalifornien; eigentlich Joseph Vernon Turner) war ein US-amerikanischer Boogie-Woogie-, Blues- und Rock-’n’-Roll-Sänger.
Schon mit vierzehn Jahren nahm er mit seinem Gesang Einfluss auf die lokale Jazz-Szene in seinem Geburtsort. Mitte der 30er-Jahre lernte er den amerikanischen Boogie-Woogie-Pianisten Pete Johnson kennen, mit dem er von da an gemeinsam auftrat. 1936 kam er erstmals nach New York, wo er Count Basie kennenlernte.
Am 23. Dezember 1938 entstanden zusammen mit Johnson seine ersten Songs in einem Swing-Konzert in der Carnegie Hall, nämlich Low Down Dog und It’s All Right, Baby. Er wurde in jenem Jahr von John Hammond gefördert. Am 30. Dezember 1938 nahm er zusammen mit Pete Johnson dessen Komposition Roll ’Em Pete auf (Vocalion #4607), es folgte am 30. Juni 1939 Cherry Red. Danach trat er mit verschiedenen Jazz-Größen wie Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington und Art Tatum auf. Im Jahr 1945 unterschrieb er einen Plattenvertrag bei National Records, wo er von Herb Abramson produziert wurde. 1951 wurde dann Ahmet Ertegün durch Abramson auf ihn aufmerksam und nahm ihn für Atlantic Records unter Vertrag. Als Folge davon entstand die Single Chains of Love, die eine hohe Platzierung in den Rhythm-and-Blues-Charts erreichte und später von Pat Boone gecovert wurde. In den 1950er Jahren hatte er mehrere größere und kleinere Single-Hits, darunter Shake, Rattle and Roll, Flip, Flop & Fly und Corrine, Corrina, und spielte unter anderem mit Elmore James (TV Mama) und King Curtis. Insgesamt hielten sich die Erfolge zwar in Grenzen, doch sie reichten aus, um davon leben zu können.
In den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren tourte Turner die meiste Zeit. Er nahm mit Jazz-Größen wie Dizzy Gillespie und Roy Eldridge Platten auf und spielte auch mit Axel Zwingenberger, mit dem er zwei höchst erfolgreiche Alben aufnahm. Allerdings machten ihm Herzschwächen und Diabetes das Leben schwer. Seine letzten Aufnahmen entstanden zusammen mit Jimmy Witherspoon.
1983 wurde Big Joe in die Blues Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
Am 24. November 1985 starb Big Joe Turner in Kalifornien an Nierenversagen. Zwei Jahre später wurde er posthum in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
Zwei seiner bekanntesten Lieder waren:
Honey Hush (1953) - Piano auf der Originalaufnahme: Fats Domino
Shake, Rattle and Roll (1954), die Aufnahme wurde 2001 in die Blues Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
