Joe Turner came up from the pre-war boogie woogie underground and became a post-war blues shoutin&#8217; success. The late 1940s were very good to Joe, but it was the 1950s that would prove to be his career highlight. Even though he was already in his 40s, Big Joe&#8217;s music became an early proponent of rock n&#8217; roll. This Harlem show is accented through interviews with music historian Billy Vera and the late Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records.
