Am certain it was Hound Dog Man, by Elvis Presley. It was a riot in those days. The kids went nuts over him and the parents thought he was a Communist. It's really funny, he moved his hips and the older generation thought it was disgusting and immoral. Today, it seems lame.

Not sure if it's the first I ever heard, but the first one I really loved was Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry.

I really can't even remember. It might have been Golden Eariing's "Radar Love". Or it may have been Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein".

And I also still have a turntable.
