How many of you went to 6th grade camp? I don’t know if they still do it? We went there in 1955 or 56 and they had a juke box in the dinning hall, and on it was the song that Little Richard did originally called tutti-frutti but it was sung by Pat Boone, yuk!! Google Pat Boone singing it and then Little Richard. Richard was a little weird but he could rock and roll!! Long live rock and roll and heavy metal. I’ll never be too old to listen to good Rock and Heavy Metal. Never really got into country even though I’ve lived in the country areas of San Diego for 50 years, far from the city of east SD that I grew up in. We don’t have any homeless in Alpine but 10 miles west all the way to the ocean it’s out of control.

There was still segregation in the 50's. There were "white" stations and "black" stations. When a "black" song became popular, it would be "covered" by a "white" singer/group so that it could be played on the "white" stations. Pat Boone also covered Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill. Many times the lyrics were also "modified". R&R was said to be "white man's words with black man's music". Thanks to people like Wolfman Jack for broadcasting from acoss the border so we could all hear all the music.

I believe many of us listened to Wolfman Jack.
I use to enjoy rock n country.
Now country has been derailed by posers.
Rock isn't the same either.

I believe that happened a lot back in those days. Radio and TV would only play popular white people's songs. Awful!
