Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
About a dozen years back, I stumbled upon Joe Turner's 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' and was blown away by these lyrics: 'When those dresses you wear let the sunlight peek through, When those dresses you wear let the sunlight peek through I can hardly trust what I'm seein' all that goodness is yours...' This part was always cut out from every version I'd ever come across. Bill Haley's take just screams 'let's dance!' Presley's is closer to the original, though I'm shocked RCA kept the line 'I've been over the hills and way down underneath' on Elvis' record. Did they genuinely think Elvis was singing about geography? Elvis would later neuter himself in one lousy film after another. That's why it's refreshing to hear Joe Turner, all worked up, croon 'I swear to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose'. And even the white kids were clued in back then... they weren't buying Pat Boone's version of 'Tutti Frutti'. The flip side's a slow, piano-driven blues penned by Joe Turner's wife.
Around a dozen years back, I stumbled upon Joe Turner's 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' and was blown away by these lyrics: 'When those dresses you're wearing let the sunlight peek through, When those dresses you're wearing let the sunlight peek through I can't wrap my head around all that goodness bein' yours...' This part was always cut out from every version I'd ever listened to. Bill Haley's take just screams 'let's dance!' Presley's rendition is a tad closer to the original. I'm shocked RCA kept the line 'I've been over the hills and way down underneath' on Elvis' track. Did they genuinely think Elvis was singing about mountains and valleys? Elvis would later neuter himself in a string of terrible films. That's why it's refreshing to hear Joe Turner, all worked up, croon: 'I swear on my soul you're the devil in those nylon stockings'. And even the white kids were in the know back then...they weren't interested in Pat Boone's version of 'Tutti Frutti'. The flip side is a slow, bluesy piano number penned by Joe Turner's wife.
