rock-and-roll
== == Boogie woogie of the 1930s sounds a lot like rock and roll. So do jump blues and hillbilly boogie, both of which appeared in the mid-1940s, if not earlier. In my mind, the first rock-and-roll song has to be a recording that 1) would later be accepted by most aficionados as part of the rock-and-roll canon, and 2) was popular with white teenagers throughout the country (suggested by its making the national pop charts, not just a local or regional chart or the rhythm-and-blues or country charts). According to this logic, the honor probably belongs to "Sixty-Minute Man" (1951) by the Dominoes. In truth, though, there are several dozen candidates and a good argument for every one. You might want to get a copy of What Was the First Rock 'N' Roll Record? by Jim Dawson and Steve Propes. It won't give you an answer, but it will tell you all you want to know about the question (and introduce you to many great, raucous songs that are worth hearing no matter which one lit the fuse). In adding this second answer to the question, I somehow erased the first one. I didn't mean to do this. To the first answerer . . . sorry!
