About the artist

Otis Blackwell

OTIS BLACKWELL - The Unsung King of Rock and Roll If Chuck Berry is the king of rock and roll, then Otis Blackwell is the unsung king. This prolific songwriter may not have the name recognition of some of his contemporaries, but his impact on the music industry is undeniable. With a slew of hits under his belt, Blackwell has left a lasting imprint on the sound of rock and roll. Born in Brooklyn in 1931, Blackwell got his start in the music industry at a young age. His first taste of success came in 1953 with the release of "Fever," which was eventually covered by Peggy Lee and became a hit. But it was his collaboration with Elvis Presley that truly solidified his place in music history. Blackwell penned some of Presley's most iconic songs, including "All Shook Up" and "Don't Be Cruel." His ability to craft catchy, memorable lyrics and melodies set him apart from his peers. He had a knack for tapping into the zeitgeist and capturing the essence of rock and roll. Despite his success as a songwriter, Blackwell never quite achieved the same level of recognition as some of his contemporaries. But his influence can be heard in the music of artists ranging from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. With a career that spanned decades, Otis Blackwell's impact on the music industry is undeniable. He may not have the same name recognition as some of his peers, but his songs continue to resonate with audiences around the world. Otis Blackwell may be the unsung king of rock and roll, but his legacy lives on in the music he helped create.
