Group 1: Little Richard, Elvis Presley and Ray Charles

Identify what you believe are the common musical threads among the artists in your groups. Use the musical vocabulary that you are learning through your reading and share mashups of musical examples to support your views.

Listen to “Mystery Train” and “Jailhouse Rock” by Elvis,
“Lucille” by Little Richard
“What’d I Say” by Ray Charles
