Every book on the history of rock and roll mentions that the word "rock" comes from the sexually suggestive slang term "Rock'n'Roll" uttered by a DJ while playing a Chuck Berry song on the radio station. .

Before the word "rock" was born, they played the blues. Among them, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howling Wolf, Etta James, Willie Dixon under the Chess record company founded by Leonard Chess... Chess brought these musicians and singers from the streets and alleys into the The recording studio that made them famous and opened a Cadillac.

As the "prehistoric figures" of rock and roll, the artists of the day were simple and straightforward, they didn't become stars for the sake of being "stars." Music for them means more money and a new Cadillac, music is the American dream.

    Drinking a frozen drink in the heat and listening to the good music in the movie can really relax your mind. (Several thoughts: I watched three music-related works in a row today. As a non-music fan, it is easy for me to confuse the names of these three people. One is Chuck Berry, one is Charlie Parker, and the other is Charlie Parker. In terms of genre, two are biographical films, one is a documentary, about Chat Baker, in fact, there is also a biographical film about Chat Baker, "Born To Be Blues", which I watched at the Shanghai Film Festival a few years ago. Now, I miss that night. I watched the documentary today, and I think the actor Ethan Hawke really looks a lot like him.

Cadillac Records quotes

  • Muddy Waters: You and me not gonna wake up every morning and get everything we want. Mostly we got to take what come. And half the time, that's gonna be a bunch of bullshit.

  • Willie Dixon: [as a narrator] When you lose that cat that gave you the sound that nobody else could, it hurts. Hurts more than losing your woman.
