Boogie-woogie is a genre of blues music that became popular during the late 1920s, developed in African-American communities since the 1870s.
It was eventually extended from piano to piano duo and trio, guitar, big band, country and western music and Gospel.
The genre had a significant influence on rhythm and blues and rock and roll.

I much prefer the original by Big Joe Turner.
 

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

It's impossible to think of boogie-woogie without evoking "The Killer"-- the great Jerry Lee Lewis. The biopic Great Balls of Fire (1989) was a very good picture as far as it went, and Dennis Quaid knocked it out of the park!

In 2020 Jerry Lee Lewis confessed that Micke is the best Rock'n´Roll pianist and singer next to himself! That is not a bad compliment!

Now you're saying something that I did not know! You can sure hear Micke Muster's influence on Jerry Lee Lewis' boogie woogie piano style. I know that Lewis was very influenced by Moon Mullican early on around Louisiana-Mississippi, but that may have been more of a country/western impression. Lewis was from Ferriday, LA, across the river from Natchez, Miss.
