Ike Turner, the first rocker!

You know Ike Turner was a distant cousin of mine. No, he never showed up at the family reunions (we're all originally from Mississippi)and no we never had any in depth conversations or the like. We have an interesting family and so Ike Turner was a complex genius who was the first to record a rocknroll song at that bonehead Sam Phillips Sun studios. It was ironic that Sam Phillips helped to discover so many great artists even though he truly was an ignorant and stupid man in many regards. But without this bonehead we wouldn't have Ike and Tina Turner, BB King, Otis Blackwell, as well as elvis presely, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and the like. Aside from making his living early on recording many of the blues acts that would come to Memphis to get there start, he has the honor of being the first to put out Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm the very first rocknroll song ever, Rocket 88.
