MAKE NO MISTAKE - this sh*ts ROCK N ROLL! 

Louis Jordan

T-Bone Walker (first ROCK N ROLL lead guitarist)

BIG Joe Williams

The Flamboyantly outrageous and openly gay Billy Wright, the ORIGINAL Georgia Peach! Roy (Good Rockin' Tonight) Brown. Little Richard would take what these two GIANTS of the genre created, Louis Jordan too, and define not only himself but the predominant popular music of the MASSES for the next 50 PLUS years!

All THIS and MORE!

70 Years! Celebrate it MFs!
