In class this past week we listened to very very old rock and roll. Before wednesday's class, I'd never really cared for the genre. Rock and roll has always appeared to me as hardcore and loud music by artists such as Kiss and ACDC and personally I never cared to listen to anything like that.
But anyways, I really liked what I heard in class from Little Richard and Chuck Berry. I honestly had no idea that there were black guys making Rock and Roll back in the 50s. I really enjoyed Little Richard's energetic style and his passion when he was covering Tutti Frutti. I had heard the song before but I had absolutely no idea that it was by Little Richard. I'd also heard Johnny B Goode in the past and I had no idea that it was a black man singing.
I hope to listen to more up beat and up tempo rock and roll artists in the near future. I think it will get me much more interested in the genre as a whole.
