Disclaimer:

This is part of a series of polls I want to make. This set of musicians are those who were making rock music prior to the late 1970s/1980s, (That is why artists like Prince and Tina Turner are not featured on here). As well as this not including subgenres of rock like punk, metal, funk rock and so forth.

I also just wanted to make this so I could probably get some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.

Other Polls:

Punk

Metal

Randomly selected musicians in rock

Fats Domino learned to play the piano in about 1938 from his brother-in-law, the jazz guitarist Harrison Verrett. By age 14, he was performing in New Orleans bars. In 1947, bandleader, Billy Diamond accepted an invitation to hear the young pianist perform at a backyard barbecue. Domino played well enough that Diamond asked him to join his band, the Solid Senders, at the Hideaway Club in New Orleans, where he would earn $3 a week playing the piano.

Antoine Dominique Domino Jr. was born February 26, 1928 and died on October 24, 2017 at the age of 89.

In my quest to find a laundromat close to our Con hotel, I came across The Lost Sock on Rampart.

This is a really cool place.

Yes, you can get your clothes clean there, but it's not just a laundromat. It's also a gallery and arts venue, because this is New Orleans and of course it is. What's even cooler, though, is what this building used to be. From 1947-1956 this was the home of J&M Recording Studios. Inside these walls some of the greats, including Fats Domino and Little Richard, laid down some of the tracks that we know and love them for. A good argument could be made for this laundromat as a contender for being the birthplace of rock and roll.

The Lost Sock is a little more than a half mile from the Royal Sonesta, across the street from New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park and about a block away from Congo Square.

You made me cry when you said goodbye

Ain't that a shame

My tears fell like rain

Ain't that a shame

You're the one to blame

You broke my heart when you said we'll part

The Beatles and Fats Domino in New Orleans, September 16, 1964; photo by Curt Gunther, @ Curt Gunther/mptvimages.com.

“‘The main thing that really buzzed me, even before I heard Elvis, was ‪Fats Domino‬’s “I’m In Love Again,”’ says Harrison. ‘I can even see exactly where I was when I heard that. There was this little place near where I was born called Wavertree, a district. And right at that point there’s a thing called the Picton Clock Tower, this tower in the middle of the road with this clock on it, and then nearby there used to be this old art-deco cinema called the Abbey. I was just walking across the road there when I heard ‪Fats Domino‬: Yes it’s me and I’m in love again! It must have been on a radio or a record player somewhere. And it touched somewhere deep in me.’” - Billboard, December 5, 1992

“I still prefer the music I liked as a teenager — Little Richard, Larry Williams and Buddy Holly. That’s classical music to me. But I like all kinds of music, Hawaiian, Spanish, Cab Calloway, Jorge Negrete... I like music that is not ego music. Real music doesn’t make you think of cash registers. It should transport you somewhere nice.” - George Harrison, Herald-Journal, July 1, 1997

“George loved Mexican music, he watched some of these films with me, he even had Jorge Negrete on the jukebox. My father used to sing with his brothers, around 1938, and like every musician he used to go around with his guitar. So George actually took my dad into the studio and recorded him. And my dad and my mother sang like four full songs. [...] We used to have to call him Jorge. Sometimes if he wanted to use another name, he would use Jorge Arias, because that is my maiden name.” - Olivia Harrison, Morelia Film Festival interview, November 3, 2016

“My mother’s father, Esquiel Arias, was a singer, and dad recorded him singing these great Mexican songs. My mother’s mother was related to Jorge Negrete, who was a film star and singer, I guess at the same level as Elvis or Bing Crosby in Mexico. Dad was a huge fan and had him on the jukebox at home. There’s a long line of musicians on both sides.” - Dhani Harrison, Mojo, November 2017 (x)

I don't know who Brian Auger, the guy at the top, was, but he would seem to have had rather a high opinion of himself.

Boogie Bill Webb was born in Jackson, Mississippi. His got his first guitar at the age of eight, made from a cigar box and strung with screen wire. His greatest influence was Tommy Johnson. With a real guitar obtained when he was a teenager, he won a talent show in 1947. He moved to New Orleans in 1952.

In New Orleans he became friends with Fats Domino and was introduced to Dave Bartholomew and obtained a recording contract with Imperial Records. In 1953 Webb released his debut single, "Bad Dog," a noncommercial slice of country boogie-woogie. Frustrated by lack of recognition, Webb relocated to Chicago, where he worked in factories. There he met and played with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, and Chuck Berry. In 1989, with financial assistance from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, he released the album Drinkin' and Stinkin'. An encounter with three women who had been out drinking for three days without bathing inspired the lyrics of the title track.

Boogie Bill Webb died August 22, 1990 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the age of 66.
