Chuck Berry gets the moniker of "father of Rock and roll"
In 1955 Chuck Berry recorded Maybeline which riffed off of Bob Willi's "Ida Red."
Berry took the lead from Charles Hogan and replaced the leading piano with a leading guitar. The same stop time and 4 beat bar that traces through blues and jazz.
Berry took the showmanship of T-Bone Waler and amplified the swagger. and wrote lyrics on themes of commercialism, fast cars, and youth that Post WWII America wanted.
Berry wanted to play blues so when he moved to Chicqo Muddy Waters introduced Chuck to Leanord Chess of Chess records (the big Chicago Blues label)...When Leanord heard Berry's Maybeline version of Ida Red though Leonard recognized something special.
Rock and Roll, with its roots in the Jazz of New Orleans and the slave plantations of Texas was born.

New Knowledge

Heart attack?

While Carl Hogan provided the guitar licks and Louis Jordan the vibe of rock and roll the boogey woogie piano players laid the foundation of the 2/4 beat.
Meade Lux Lewis was one of the greatest boogey-woogie bashers of ivory.
Boogey Woogey followed the same time scales of Blues but provided the upbeat rock and roll would need. Music meant for dancing and drinking. Not just drinking.
Boogey Woogey does usually follow a 12 bar meter. Rock n roll settled on an 8 bar as boogey woogey went from piano, dualing piano, and then lead guitar....thanks to Mr. Chuck Berry....
Boogey Woogey was so connected to the other elements like Western Swing, Texas/Chicago Blues, and Jump Jazz.
Blind Lemon Jefferson called the bass lines supplied by guitar "Booga Rooga" (the word derves from some West African language brought with slaves).
Boogey Woogey, like much of the Blues, got created in Texas where people noted a "Fast Western" style among Black ragtime players.
Fun fact...the "Western" in Country and Western..isn't a direction. "Freed" Slaves who built the railroads for Texas Western Railroad Company called that unique Texas ragtime "Fast Western" in reference to the railroad company.
This became the "Western" half of Country Western.
