Another boogie woogie great Big Joe Turner was a "shouter" in jump jazz bands. His song "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" is probaly the first rock and roll song to hit #1 on the charts.

As a "shouter" Turner bridged the big band era while foreshadowing the lead singer in rock bands and the emcee in Hip Hop.

Turner also got his start at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, an important institution that shaped rock and roll (and so many other genres).
