Little Richard

Re:

His first single for RCA was Taxis Blues in 1951 that predated Jerry Lee Lewis , Elvis Presley and even Chuck Berry.

You have to put yourself back in those times when seeing a black (and gay) entertainer singing the Devil's music put the fear into middle America.

Although this is a little later, a young white audience loosing control to his music would have caused concern to the older generation - St Vitus' dance indeed.
