Biography / Administrative History
Jesse Stone (November 1, 1901-April 1, 1999) was an American rhythm and blues musician and songwriter whose songs were highly influential for a wide range of genres. Under the pseudonym of Charles E. Calhoun, Stone wrote some of his best-known compositions including “Shake, Rattle, and Roll.” Recorded by Big Joe Turner in 1954, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” is often cited as one of the first rock and roll records. In addition to songwriting, Stone performed as a bandleader in the 1940s and 1950s. Stone was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
