I just learned something new in music history from Sally/Marion
 

posted in his obituary thread for a singer he did the jitterbug to when he was a young buck

"And without the influence on music of The Andrews Sisters and Spike Jones, we would not have Rock And Roll as we know it."

:1orglaugh

and here I thought rock and roll evolved from the blues of the Mississippi Delta when it turns out it was three middle aged sisters from Illinois who influenced Buddy Holly and the rest

Don't forget Wayne newton

Never, ever, forget Wayne Newton.

They were part of the development of pop stars. I don't think that is that wrong to have said.

Danke schoen:thumbsup

And he isn't wrong about Spike Jones either. Perhaps he should have said popular music rather than rock and roll but he isn't wrong.

LMFAO that's funny as shit
