Disclaimer:

This is part of a series of polls I want to make. This set of musicians are those who were making rock music prior to the late 1970s/1980s, (That is why artists like Prince and Tina Turner are not featured on here). As well as this not including subgenres of rock like punk, metal, funk rock and so forth.

I also just wanted to make this so I could probably get some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.

Other Polls:

Punk

Metal

Randomly selected musicians in rock

Fats Domino learned to play the piano in about 1938 from his brother-in-law, the jazz guitarist Harrison Verrett. By age 14, he was performing in New Orleans bars. In 1947, bandleader, Billy Diamond accepted an invitation to hear the young pianist perform at a backyard barbecue. Domino played well enough that Diamond asked him to join his band, the Solid Senders, at the Hideaway Club in New Orleans, where he would earn $3 a week playing the piano.

Antoine Dominique Domino Jr. was born February 26, 1928 and died on October 24, 2017 at the age of 89.

In my quest to find a laundromat close to our Con hotel, I came across The Lost Sock on Rampart.

This is a really cool place.

Yes, you can get your clothes clean there, but it's not just a laundromat. It's also a gallery and arts venue, because this is New Orleans and of course it is. What's even cooler, though, is what this building used to be. From 1947-1956 this was the home of J&M Recording Studios. Inside these walls some of the greats, including Fats Domino and Little Richard, laid down some of the tracks that we know and love them for. A good argument could be made for this laundromat as a contender for being the birthplace of rock and roll.

The Lost Sock is a little more than a half mile from the Royal Sonesta, across the street from New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park and about a block away from Congo Square.
