HAIL HAIL ROCK 'N' ROLL
Pockets of hate
Rockets of love
It's never too late
For change in the color of
The color of her
The color of him
It really does matter
What skin you're in
Big yellow taxi cab passed me by
Stop on the next corner to pick up a white guy
The color of you
The color of me
You can't judge a man
By lookin' at the marquee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat
Blame it on you
Blame it on me
Now let's the erase the wound
That's in our history
Pain in my heart
Won't let me be
Take it from me
But don't you take away my liberty
Father of coal, mother of pearl
Never too black to blush to pick up a white girl
The color of you
The color of me
You can't judge a man
By lookin' at the marquee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
I used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat
Little Richard
Chuck Berry
Bo Diddley
Fats Domino
Here come Elvis
Gene Vincent
Buddy Holly
And Jerry Lee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat

I love this song so much- even though its appearance more than twenty years ago- ever great music and always beloved!

[@franzischreck1998]

my childhood...memories

[@jazz-soulfan9152]

In the 90's I listened & danced to this song in an Amsterdam disco. The dj presented & mixed a 10 or 12 minutes version of this song at his turntable & the floor was really burning. Me & the crowd got crazy, but I never heard this mix again. It was a night I still have to remember, although it's 20 years ago. I love his music & this dj is part for this love! Thanks to the unknown dj who gives me a fantastic night at Melkweg, Amsterdam!

[@southpaw220]

Graham Maby on bass. Respect.

[@MyriamThyes]

One of my all times favorite! This song together with Stevie Wonder's SIR DUKE celebrate the black pioneers of US modern music - jazz and rock'n'roll. They only lack some important female pioneers like Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone.
