first favorite rock song? Well, first of all... what I would call rock back then most of you would not.
I do not remember being a big fan of Chuck Berry.... although I'm sure I liked him then. Today, of course, I think he's remarkable if for no other reason than nostalgia.
Nor was I that into Elvis back then.
I was very into some of the instrumental bands... the early ones. The Safaris, the Ventures, The Marketts, loved Bill Justis playing "Raunchy".
But one favorite huh? Well... hmmmmm......can't do it... but just to offer a choice I'll go with Duane Eddy "rebel-rouser".... but again most of you won't consider that 'rock'... truth is, I probably wouldn't either. But it did lead to Rock. - JamesJM
