"Jim Jackson's Kansas City Blues" is a song by Jim Jackson.
Recordings and later influence
Jackson's first record, "Jim Jacksons's Kansas City Blues, Part 1 & 2" (recorded 10 October 1927 for Vocalion Records) was one of the first, and biggest race hits. [Larkin, C: "The Encyclopedia of Popular Music", page 2743. Muze UK, 1998.] The song's melody line was re-used and developed by Charlie Patton ("Going To Move To Alabama") and Hank Williams ("Move It On Over") before emerging in "Rock Around The Clock", and its lyrical content presaged Leiber and Stoller's "Kansas City". The song contains the line "It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll...", and is mentioned as one of the canditates to the First rock and roll record.
Janis Joplin later recorded a song she called "Kansas City Blues", singing "...goin' to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home".
