About

Big Joe Turner, not to be confused with the great piano player by the same name, could bring a house down with his earth-shaking power vocals. His voice spanned generations -- he was an important figure singing Boogie Woogie and Jump-Blues, later rocking audiences with classic early rock 'n' roll classics like "Shake, Rattle and Roll."
