There was a snippet online today about the first rock and roll song, ever. It seems that a college professor, Joseph Burns of Southeastern Louisiana University, has identified the characteristics of a rock song. Using those characteristics, he has come to the conclusion that "That's All Right Mama," a September 1946 release by Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, was the first rock and roll song.
What do you think? Do you agree? What's your favorite rock and roll song? When was the first time you heard it? What makes it your favorite? Write a letter about it!
