#324 - The History of Rock 'N Roll Part I - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>The Devil's Music: The Birth of Rock 'N Roll - <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Little Richard,</span></strong></span> <span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Bo Diddley, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, & Charles Edward Anderson Berry</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss the power, influence, and long-lasting cultural and artistic power of <em>Rock 'N Roll Music</em>. From it's origins in the <em>Blues</em>, <em>Rhythm & Blues</em>, and <strong><em>Country</em></strong> Music thru the pairing down of a "Big Band Sound" and the power of <em>Gospel</em> and The Church, <em>Rock 'N Roll</em> is often a misunderstood and difficult subject to discuss. We're going to include looks at <em><strong>Great Balls of Fire</strong></em> (1989 Dir. Jim McBride), <strong><em>La Bamba</em></strong> (1987 Dir. Luis Valdez), <em><strong>The Buddy Holly Story</strong></em> (1978 Dir. Steve Rash), and <em><strong>Chuck Berry: Hail, Hail Rock 'N Roll</strong></em> (1987 Dir. Taylor Hackford) in order to gain a better understanding of the music, the artists, and the times that created these sounds.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At the end of the day all we're trying to do is bring a bit of understanding and convey our appreciation and admiration for this music. Hail, Hail Rock 'N Roll!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to <a href= "mailto:gondoramos@yahoo.com">gondoramos@yahoo.com</a>.
