    Ok, fair enough. I didn’t think it would be named after a song that someone who predated rock by decades wrote.

      Rock has its roots and foundation in Delta Blues. Which would be the environment that helped influence and shape later known Chicago bluesmen such as Muddy Waters. Without the contributions of the black artists from the Mississippi Delta you would not have any of the music we currently enjoy today.
