rock-and-roll rocks looks
I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.
music rocks age
I gave up rock 'n' roll for the rock of ages! I used to be a glaring homosexual until God changed me!
rocks occupation singers
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.
rocks rock-n-roll fans
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
rocks rock-n-roll tempo
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
thinking rocks down-and
When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues.
rocks rock-n-roll bottom
To me, true rock 'n' roll has a lot of bottom in it.
rocks guitar bass
Now they have banging guitar and no bass and call it rock, but that's not what I call rock.
block rocks devil
Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. I know what the blocks are made of because I built them.
believe taken rocks
My true belief about Rock 'n' Roll--and there have been a lot of phrases attributed to me over the years--is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic. ... A lot of the beats in music today are taken from voodoo, from the voodoo drums. If you study music in rhythms, like I have, you'll see that is true. I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious
player guitar rocks
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
men rocks giving
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
kids rocks people
People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
rocks rock-n-roll architect
I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
