This is a pretty decent B-side of "It's A Sin," and gets a high 5 from me.

I see it on YouTube in no less than THIRTEEN different postings!!!

And EVERY ONE of these is blocked in USA?? (Yes,I think they are
judging by the extremely sparse viewing figures tho the record itself
deserves no less)

thanks for the link; a charming record overall, impressive piano
break, pleasant and befitting orchestral backing, with a pleasing
vocal that somehow combines mellowness with vitality

6/10

Don't remember what thread it was talking about Samp reviewing country style rock and roll, but in today's review he says...


Country music, as we’ve mentioned plenty of times to date, had absolutely nothing to do with rock ‘n’ roll’s birth or its original seismic creative evolution. It really wasn’t until more white acts like Bill Haley and the rockabillies from Sun Records came along in the mid-1950’s, and then culminating with The Everly Brothers ascendancy in 1957 that strong country elements began to be incorporated into the ever broadening description of rock music.

So which country artists/songs had an effect on Roy Brown's "Good Rockin' Tonight?"

That quote wasn't about one specific song, it was about "rock 'n'
roll's...creative evolution." As you know, Roy Brown eventually made
some rockabilly records, so clearly it had an effect on *him* as an
artist.
I have often mentioned the back-and-forth that went on between country
and blues artists in the 1920s and 30s. Country musicians adopted the
African instrument, the banjo; blues and jazz musicians adopted guitars
and fiddles.

But did country have effect on him by 1947, or did the effect come after he heard rockabilly in 1955 and 1956?

Samp is saying that country had no effect on rock ‘n’ roll’s birth or its original seismic creative evolution, which he would put from like 1947-1950 or so, I believe.

The joke:
In 1967 he recorded: "Don't you believe him"
(Yes: him, not her)
