Idiot-- look in the ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
Idiot-- look in the mirror-- you are describing yourself !
" psychotic jealousy '-- of what ? rhythym and blues-- I hate the stuff... "fear of all things black " ? the blues ? Whatever for ?... "Hate what I cannot be or do "- What would that be? I am not a musician... weird, aren't you.
Again your racism-- that evil white people stole the creations of black people.

I can't describe how much i love you for this. I heard this a couple of years ago and have been trying to find it since. It's as brilliant as i remember

Well if you hate R&B you hate R&R, because w/o the former the latter would not exist.
Oh RNB influenced ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
Oh RNB influenced RNR for sure-- but RNR is not RNB played by white people, as you assert over and over again.
That really shows you have no understanding of rock at all--- because one can like RNR and not like RNB ( many whites) and like RnB but not like RnR ( almost all blacks).
I am speaking of ... ( 2 months ago by luvureally)
I am speaking of the infancy of R&R, when both blacks & whites were playing a very similar style of music.Again why is it when the Beatles & Stones did covers of "r&b" songs,using the same arrangements:Beatles -"Twist & Shout", "You Really Got a Hold On Me" "Money", The Stones - "Time is on My Side", "Its All over Now", "Thats How Strong My Love Is", they are considered R&R.Nothing new or different with the arrangements. Elvis Hound Dog, diff arrangement but still R&B polyrhythmic based.
Thank you-- you ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
Thank you-- you make my point.
You are talking about the "infancy, whne both blacks and whites were playing a similiar style of music"-- hence, you define the issue so you will win.
That was a very brief time, becasue when whites got involved they took all the influences and "created" rock n roll.
The Stones were heavily influenced by RNB -so? Both the Beatles and the Stones covered Buddy Holly,too( Not Fade Away and Words of Love) and Buddy is a long way from RNB.
The infancy of the ... ( 2 months ago by luvureally)
The infancy of the music, the point when it was created, no matter how brief, who were the first musicians to play polyrhythmic dance music?And that is what it was. Early r&r was dance music. What whites did in the sixties was create something that was very different from fifties original r&r, but continued to call it that. Some like Stones & Led Zepplin remained true to blues & r&b roots. Again, U did not answer how does r&b song done with same arrangement by white musician become a r&r song?
"polyrhythmic dance ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
"polyrhythmic dance music "--- ha ha
aka "jungle rhythyms" ????
DO you really think that only blacks have danced to rhythmic music ?
Now you say there is RNR, which lasted for 10 seconds in 1955 and blacks created it... whites played it in the 50s and called it RNR, blacks didn't anymore.. then whites changed it in the 60s... and called it "rnr" still.
You are a moving target, changint the topic, changing definitons, contradicting yourself---
Yes "jungle" music ... ( 2 months ago by luvureally)
Yes "jungle" music if you like. The foundation of r&r. The music called r&r was created by Blacks. Originally called race and then r&b, named changed to r&r when whites started playing it. Rock&Roll a slang term in the black community for sexual intercourse. I have changed nothing. My argument remains the same Blacks created it, whites came along later. And yes in USA most dance music America is known for was created by blacks, jazz, swing, ragtime, r&b(r&r),
More of the same ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
More of the same stupid repetition.
And another distration-- dance music
and a new definition-- race music !
One "foundation--an influence, not the same as !
and now race music is the same as rock music
You have defined all these terms as the same thing-- so obviously if "red" means the same to you as "black", no one can convince you they refer to two different things.
You just defend yourself by running around in circles, playing with the definition of words etc
Array ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
Chuck Berry--
LUVUREALLY cannot cope with the only black rnr star-- because he said he played for white audiences and blacks did not like his music-- which was RnR !
Johnny Burnette's cover ( 1956)of Tiny Bradshaw's Train Kept a Rollin ( 1951)--
check it out. Tiny's song is typical "black music"-- Johnny takes the song and creates a rock n roll song.
Compare the two songs on UTUBE--
ILUVUREALLY just masturbates with words-- anything to avoid learning anything
Array ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
LUVUREALLY thinks
Race music and Doo Wop and RnB and Rock n roll-- are all the exact same thing.

Ass wipe, that is what black music was called. Simply again, blacks created r&r, whites jumped on bandwagon.
You just ... ( 2 months ago by etahasgard1986)
You just irrationally repeat the same statement , no matter how many times it is refuted.
There was no rock music before white musicians created it-- there was no bandwagon to jump on.
There are no, zero significant black rnr groups. ZERO. ZERO.ZERO. ZERO.
Why--because blacks do not like rock n roll music-- its crazy to think they created a style of music-- then never played it..
Man,there is no ... ( 2 months ago by margaritaboy)
Man,there is no need to argue.Elvis,Chuck,

Unfortunately the most popular music has been birthed out of the pain of Black ppl. Everyone who has sense knows Elvis stole most of its music from Blacks. As much as it (MUSIC) unites; it is b/c of the the great DIVIDE (racial). Im not naive nor hateful just REAL. And Rap music used to say something b4 Corp. Amer. Got its greedy hands on it. Rap used to range from positive (rvltnry) to gangsta; we used to be able to choose but we have to follow their damn dance instructions like mentalslavs

ha etahasgard1986 fighting about the roots of r&r is pretty funny. before there was rock and roll, whites liked "pop" and blacks did "rhythm and blues". Just look at the charts from the early 1950s. best-selling "pop" tune of 1950 was "Goodnight, Irene." ew. there was definitely a racial divide that wasn't blurred arguably until the Crows' "Gee" was the first black-sung song to top the pop charts, THEN the r&b charts. rock and roll really was the product of the evolution of black r&b
SHove your racist ... ( 4 weeks ago by mydyingbride907)
SHove your racist bigotry-- Elvis didn't steal anything from anyone. There was no one like Elvis before-- and there will never be such a towering figure.
Most popular has not been "birthed out of the pain of black people"-- utter nonsense. Heavy metal, hard rock, rock n roll, rockabilly, bluegrass, swing...
Stop the racist attitude toward white people-- get a life

well it's odd to think that i as a white person would be racist toward whites... i'm not contending any sort of superiority. elvis didn't "steal," but he did "borrow" quite heavily -- from blacks (little richard, big mama, etc.) and whites (carl perkins). he gave the songs a new sound and style, (in my opinion, elvis' style was untouchable) but the foundations were not his. to give proper credit is not to be racist. and most of the early r&b WAS expression of the pain of those who sung it.
Incidentally, this ... ( 3 days ago by goddollars)
Incidentally, this song was written by two jewish guys from tin pan alley (Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller). I do think this is the superior version.
Regarding the Elvis/Black issue. Elvis did revere Black culture. He often hung out at Black barbershops and was a rabid fan of R&B. His first sessions came out of his deliberate attempts to copy the Black R&B sound. He was a legend, but it'd be foolish not to see how important R&B was before that and how traditional blues made it all happen.

You defeat your own claim...
"Most popular has not been "birthed out of the pain of black people"-- utter nonsense. Heavy metal, hard rock, rock n roll, rockabilly, bluegrass, swing..."
Um, yeah. That's the point exactly. All of those share one thing in common - roots in gospel and blues.
