Jazzman... Movie Star... Songwriter...Hit Maker...Oh, and he 'Invented' Rock 'n' Roll.Nobody has a better claim to the title of 'Father of Rock 'n' Roll' than Louis Jordan. Long before Fats Domino and Little Richard, way before Haley and Presley - Louis Jordan was rockin' 'em in the aisles with hit after rockin' hit.Just listen to any track on this compilation - then check its date. You'll be staggered by its freshness, partly due to the genius of Jordan himself - and partly to the quality of the remastering. You'll marvel, too, at the familiarity of many of the phrases, licks and runs. Effects that many of Jordan's imitators happily took credit for.In fact, before you've got halfway through this stunning body of work, you'll have reached a simple conclusion:if there is a 'King', it's King Louis.
