	Wynonie Harris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harris traveled as a singer and dancer with the Lucky Millinder Big Band in his youth.
		Harris made a major contribution to the birth of rock and roll when he covered "Good Rocking Tonight", written and originally recorded by Roy Brown.
		Harris' last public appearance was as a guest performer at a Motortown Revue concert at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California in 1966, which was universally considered to be a disaster (according to author Nick Tosches' article on Harris in Creem magazine, collected in Tosches' Unsung Heroes of Rock and Roll).

		Wynonie Harris was born in Omaha, Nebraska on 24th August 1915.
		Millinder's band was already well established, but with Wynonie Harris as vocalist it achieved its biggest hit to date, 'Who threw the Whiskey in the Well.' This novelty item was something of a smash and in its booze orientated lyrics it predicted things to come.
		Wynonie Harris soon parted company with Millinder and on the back of the success of 'Whiskey' he secured a recording contract with Appollo.

		Harris was already a seasoned dancer, drummer, and singer when he left Omaha for L.A. in 1940 (his main influences being Big Joe Turner and Jimmy Rushing).
		Wynonie Harris's reputation was spreading fast -- he was appearing in Chicago at the Rhumboogie Club in 1944 when bandleader Lucky Millinder hired him as his band's new singer.
		By the time it hit in mid-1945, Harris was long gone from Millinder's organization and back in L.A. The shouter debuted on wax under his own name in July of 1945 at an L.A. date for Philo with backing from drummer Johnny Otis, saxist Teddy Edwards, and trumpeter Howard McGhee.

		Wynonie Harris began his entertainment career playing drums, dancing, telling jokes and singing, in hometown Omaha, Nebraska.
		Harris' first solo hit was the 1947 "Playful Baby." That tune, like most of his early work, was very risqué, and the words "rocking" and "rolling" in his early songs rarely referred to music or dance.
		When Harris decided to cover Roy Brown's "Good Rocking Tonight," which itself had been a mild and non-rocking record, Harris used the gospel element of hand-clapping on the back-beat (something Turner was famous for) to give it the "rocking" rhythm which had been heard in gospel music for many years.

	This Day in History
		Blues singer Wynonie Harris records the hit song "Good Rockin' Tonight." A hard-driving blues number, the song popularized the word "rock" and associated it with the fast, exciting blues-based music that would dominate the charts in the 1950s.
		Wynonie Harris was born in Omaha in 1915.
		Harris continued to enjoy hits in the late 1940s and early '50s, including "Good Morning Judge" and "All She Wants to Do Is Rock." At his peak, he was earning $1,500 a week-top pay for a musician in those days-but his career faded in the late '50s.

	Wynonie Harris - Biography and Recommendations
		His early solo hits included 'Wynonie's Blues', 'That's The Stuff You Gotta Watch', 'Playful Baby' and 'Young and Wild' for the Philo, Apollo and Bullet labels before he established himself with King Records in 1947.
		However, as Wynonie stayed true to his blues muse throughout stints with Atco, Roulette and Cadet, changing tastes and a smoother, less suggestive sound began to dominate the R&B charts.
		It didn't end well for Harris - up until the early 1960s, he ran an after hours club from an apartment in Brooklyn but he then moved back to LA and the lavish lifestyle became a distant memory.

		Wynonie "Mr Blues" Harris is perhaps the most overlooked charector in the whole history of rock n roll music.
		The small RandB combos Harris worked with set the ball rolling for the rock and roll revolution which he was not deemed to be part of (too old, too wise, too risque, too whisky soaked for a majority white teenage audience).
		Sad to say that Wynonie died of cancer in 1969 in relative obscurity and lack of wealth.

		After Harris' cover made the charts in early 1948, Brown re-penned the tune as "Rockin' at Midnight," which was recorded in 1948 and released in January, 1949.
		Harris came back with "Bad News Baby, (There'll Be No Rocking Tonight)," in 1952, and Brown answered with the powerful"Ain't No Rocking No More," in 1953.
		It's clear that Roy Brown was one of the main inspirations for the young Elvis.

		Harris was a sharp-dressed, witty and wild, hard-drinking womanizer, and if there were competitions on the various exploits of those he competed with, Wynonie would have won, hands down.
		Wynonie's success can easily be weighed by considering that he had over 15 top-ten hits between 1945 and 1952, but by the time a hillbilly kid named Presley covered "Good Rockin' Tonight" for the Sun label, Harris and many more were on the downside of their popularity.

		"Good Rockin' Tonight" was written and first recorded by Roy Brown in 1947, but Wynonie Harris' version was the smash a year later.
		A colossal mess, with bad dubbing, a baffling plot made worse by sloppy editing, Orson Welles' awful Irish brogue, Harry Cohn's insistence on wedging in a Rita Hayworth musical number and a gonzo trial sequence that rivals the one in Woody Allen's Bananas.
		But throughout it has the pace and fever of a wild dream, in a way even avant-garde film rarely captured.
