Re: Favourite single
Yeah, "Rocket 88" is a great single, especially with Ike Turner's superb guitar playing. However, "Good Rockin' Tonight" was made a full seven years before and effectively made the breakthrough from rhythm & blues to rock & roll with its storming beat and slapback bass. It certainly impressed a young truck driver in Memphis called Elvis Presley who covered it in 1954 as one his very first singles on Sun Records.
