According to some, this was the first Rock 'n' Roll song, a couple of decades before it was named. It's all debatable, but I'll leave it to the scholars. You can certainly hear its influence on 50s Rock, a pretty straight line to Chuck Berry and Little Richard. And if you can hear that, you can continue along the line to Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, and so on to The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who, Zeppelin, Hendrix.
