179 Big Joe Turner (1911-1985) “Shake, Rattle and Roll” 1954

“The premier blues shouter of the postwar era, Big Joe Turner’s roar could rattle the very foundation of any gin joint he sang within—and that’s without a microphone. Turner was a resilient figure in the history of blues—he effortlessly spanned boogie-woogie, jump blues, and even the first wave of rock & roll, enjoying great success with each genre” (allmusic.com).
