(Others had recorded the song before Milburn, but their versions sound nothing like rock & roll.)<br /><br />One quibble: whatever Milburn recorded before 1954 or so wasn't a "45"; most records were 78 rpms in those days.Dr. Caligarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952014180438908530noreply@blogger.com
