I REMEMBER CHUCK WILLIS TOO !.......2006-07-02

Never forget his classics "What Am I Living For", "Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes", "C.C.Rider", "Betty And Dupree". R.I.P. !!

Listen to The Last Years of His Career.......2005-02-10

I admit it; before rock and roll exploded with Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, etc. I was aware of the pre-rock bluesmen and R&B singers and groups courtesy of WDIA, Memphis, TN., still in business today, BUT until the dance called the Stroll came along, I had never heard of Chuck Willis. I have since heard those songs and they are worth owning, but my focus here is on this package of his hits during the years he was "King of the Stroll". His "C.C. Rider" is the definitive version of a song recorded by many other artists over the years. I still have an original vinyl 45 with "What Am I Living For?" b/w "Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes" and acquired a reissue of "Betty and Dupree" after that.They really evoke memories for me. Conway Twitty, in his rock and roll years, recorded "What Am I Living For?" and also a cover of "Oh, What a Dream" which Chuck Willis wrote. (Ruth Brown earlier recorded it). The Stroll King also wrote "Feel So Bad" covered so well in a 1961 version by Elvis Presley. The original years of early rock and roll were not over when Chuck Willis died of an inflammation of the abdominal cavity called peritonitis. He had just turned thirty. This package of songs is a big part of his legacy and I recommend it.
