Must admit I thought he had died years ago!

Didn't like his music but there was no denying he was a great entertainer.

 

[Mrs M]

One of the real characters from my childhood.

I didn't think he'd died long ago,but it seemed he had as he hasn't been mentioned for years.
I liked his music. That honky tonk rock 'n' roll piano sound was
My favourite tune of his is....

I'm amazed he didn't die years ago

W w w why! What did he do?

 

[Cycleops]

An absolute legend and one of the very first proponents of rock n roll. He inspired the likes of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and many more.
I remember buying one of his EPs as one of my first records when I was about thirteen.
Now he's up there with Chick Berry and all the rest.

 

[PaulB]

He was a sort of blueprint for Prince to follow. John Lennon says that when he first heard him sing, he thought it was the voice of God.

The question should be, "What didn't he do?"

 

[Accy cyclist]

There's only Jerry Lee Lewis left from that type of music and era i'd say.

 

[Drago]

A rather, er, interesting personal life though.
