lmao i watched this at shool today. While perhaps a little bit of a shame, and certainly a distinct change, are you sure that fact can be classified as 'ironic'? thanks alot KING689. JUST BLAME EVERYONES EGO FROM LISTENING TO DESCENT CLASSY MUSIC NO JOKE, I PLAY THIS WHILE I SHOOT GUNS LOL CHEERS today's music is only about "hangovers" " sexy bitches" and bullshit like that. what the fuck is wrong with my generation? Great compilation  That's back when rock n roll was MUSIC!! 9880356-we do, just research a little bit-get away from the television If only we could have music like this in 2011-2012. Thank You!* download link please? LOL This is real music of RnB. You can not call these "freaky yeah stuff" music, its just electronic and auto tune. Neither do white artist , so stfu thanks for putting together a fantastic selection of 50's R+B! ( and also, for the informative Songlist) You used a much later re-recording of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" genius, I love black people :D Im not sure if there is much rythym in BB king, I thought he was pure blues. if it weren't for guys like elvis, covering songs originally done by black artists and mixing in a little bit of country with it, guys like arthur crudup would be forgotten. radio was segregated back in the early days, you just didn't hear black and white artists on the same station. the rockabilly guys in the 50s, and the british invasion guys in the 60's were all big blues fans and they introduced millions of people to a great music that non blacks didn't care or know about before. nice job!!! check my channel awesome mix enjoyed it thanxs for posting Yep, ya got that right. Thief Elvis stole R/B from the Black Performers via Sam Phillips to sell to the white market and got all the credit. The blacks were the best and I'm a white guy!! NICE MIX. This is awesome!! oops This is cool, I like your set up.
