Roots of Rock

Yesterday in class, we listened to and talked about classic rock and roll artists from the 50's, such as Chuck Barry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly.
While I love all of these dudes, Little Richard stands out the most to me, and he always has been because I love his performance. That to me, is the real selling point to him. I love Jerry Lee Lewis for similar reasons, but he's more on the crazy side which is cool but he's also just freaking weird. At least I think so. I try not to judge one's music based on one's personal life, but the dude has been married 5 times, 3 of his wives he murdered, and one of the ones he didn't kill was his cousin which he married when she was 13, and divorced her 13 years later. Great guy.
