About the Song
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" (also rendered "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On") is a song best known in the 1957 rock and roll hit version by Jerry Lee Lewis. The origins of the song are disputed, but the writing is co-credited to Native American (Crow) / African American Kentuckian singer/songwriter Dave "Curlee" Williams, and white pianist, bandleader and songwriter James Faye "Roy" Hall (May 7, 1922 - March 2, 1984)[1]. Hall made the first recording of the song in September, 1954 for Decca Records, and maintained that he had written it and had secured the legal copyright as co-writer under the pseudonym of "Sunny David". All recordings of the song list the composers as Sunny David and Dave Williams. However, a Decca sample copy of Hall's recording [2] lists Dave Williams as the sole writer. The labels on records, nevertheless, are not dispositive, Milli Vanilli were listed as the singers on their records although they did not sing on any of them. The songwriting credit has always appeared as David-Williams on all recordings of the song subsequently. Hall was also a Nashville club owner, who later claimed to have employed young piano player Jerry Lee Lewis at some point around 1954. Hall's version was rapidly covered by Big Maybelle whose recording was produced by the young Quincy Jones, and by others including The Commodores (no relation to the '70s Motown group). Big Maybelle was covering a record by a white artist, which usually did not get as much attention as when the reverse occurred. However, none of these early recordings found much commercial success.    Download this sheet!
About the Artist
Piano notes and music reading No language is easy to learn except for our mother tongue. Mother tongue is a language which we start learning as soon as we are conceived. But learning some other language can be difficult if you are really not into it. Piano Notes are written in a completely different language. Agreed that the characters in the piano notes are very artistic and beautiful but they are equally strange to beginners and newcomers. But here is one interesting fact. Learning music reading from a piano notes music sheet is not a very difficult task. Actually it is much easier than learning a foreign Asian language like Chinese. Memorization and repetition are the two main ingredients for success in mastering the language of piano notes. So realistically speaking, once you are done reading the basics, all you have to do is practice the language as much as you can. To say in a very classical tone, practice till each and every note starts running through your veins. (More...)
