about

This is a rewrite of a song I wrote many years ago which was titled "He Taught Me Everything I Know About Rock'n'Roll." It was in the sad days after the murder of John Lennon.

lyrics

ROCK 'N' ROLL IN MY SOUL
Music & Lyrics © 2014 Paul Washington

I switched on that little black and white
Ed Sullivan was on the tube that night
Those Beatle boys came on the show
Young girls lost all control
Good ol’ rock ’n’ roll was in my soul

Guess I never did so well in school
Guess I’m nothin’ but a rockin’ fool
I learned everything I know from a transistor radio
Good ol’ rock ’n’ roll was in my soul

Kick off your shoes and get those records out
Roll back the rug -- we can twist and shout

Girl, my hair’s gettin' kind of grey
But you make me feel as young as yesterday
You gimme help on a hard day’s night
Eight days a week, please, hold me tight
You put the rock 'n' roll back in my soul

Kick off your shoes and get those records out
Roll back the rug -- we can twist and shout

Girl, my hair’s gettin' kinda grey
But you make me feel as young as yesterday
You gimme help on a hard day’s night
Eight days a week, please hold me tight
You put the rock 'n' roll back in my soul

Paul Washington Mill Bay, British Columbia

Paul Washington's songs have swinging rhythms, smart lyrics, delivered in a unique vocal style. He mixes vintage country and rock'n'roll with the great sounds of western swing.
“It was déjà vu when I realized I first heard swing music at my mother's knee. She used to sing in the big band days and that put that music in my DNA. This CD was a tribute to her -- that’s why I put her on the cover.” ... more
