- RARE OLDIES VIDEO WITH MR MOON MULLICAN !!! Aubrey Wilson Mullican (March 29, 1909 January 1, 1967), known as Moon Mullican, was an American country and western singer, songwriter, and pianist. However, he also sang and played jazz, rock 'n' roll and the blues. Indeed, Mullican was one of the main influences on the formation of rock 'n' roll; he predated what would be done in rock 'n' roll by 20 years. He was associated with the hillbilly boogie style which greatly influenced rockabilly; Jerry Lee Lewis cited him as a major influence on his own singing and piano playing. 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of his birth. Moon was born to Oscar Luther Mullican (18761961) and his first wife, Virginia (18801915), near Corrigan, Polk County, Texas. They were a farming family of Scottish, Irish and Eastern European descent. Moon was a descendant of the Mullikins of Maryland. His Scots-Irish immigrant ancestor, James Mullikin, was born in Scotland, arriving in Maryland in 16301640 via Northern Ireland. His paternal grandfather was Pvt. Wilson G. Mullican, who fought with the 6th Mississippi Infantry, CSA, at the Battle of Shiloh. Moon's parents, stepmother and grandparents are all buried in Stryker Cemetery, Polk County, Texas. Mullican's mother died when he was six years old. His father soon married Callie. As a child, Mullican began playing the organ, which his religious father had purchased in order to better sing hymns at church. However, Moon had befriended one of the black sharecroppers on the farm, a guitarist named Joe Jones, who introduced him to the country blues. His religious family did not always approve, and he was torn between religion and secular music. After making his mark as a local piano player, he left home at 16, and headed to Houston, where he began playing piano and singing in local clubs. His career choice was to be a singer or a preacher, and he chose the former.

I just discovered Moon Mullican last night. What a talent!
E eu acabei de descobrir Moon Mullican agora.....
Que talento.....
😆😆😆😆
For any lover of Bob Wills, Western Swing, and Texas music, Moon is a must! Too bad he's not as well known as some others. Let's change that!
Absolutely!
This man has got soul.
What a performance!
I agree with Dawn, this guy helped lay the foundation for rock and roll; never heard of him till I researched BR549 Cherokee boogie
Never saw a performer experience such natural joy 😂 in what he was doing, I don't mean pride of self...but forgetting himself in pure delight.
I love his playing. I'm thinking of covering this song for my You Tube Channel!!
Great singer, great music!
Mr. Moon was a classic. Love the "pinto" cowboy hat.
Deserves greater recognition. Moon was a masterful piano player. Check out Let Me Rock You Baby, especially the last double piano break. The great Jerry Lee Lewis credits Moon as his greatest influence. Enough said!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING SOME REAL GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
superb!
Read he was Jerry Lee's influence. Had to look him up.
Классический рок-н-рол это вечно! Сами ноги отбивают такт. И радостно стучит сердце.
Love it! Good video quality, great music. Thank you for posting!
one of the best country piano players along with Merrill E Moore
And Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Rich. Those 4 are excellent and are the best country singer pianists but also are blues, rock 'n' roll, etc. too. Also, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Jack Dupree, Piano Red, Fats Domino, Nat King Cole and Chuck Miller are excellent too (I am not sure what category Chuck would belong too).
Ignorant statement.
yeeeeah!
You might credit Wikipedia for that intro info, Thanks for posting this video.
And Ray Charles and Billy j
I got news for all those hillbillies. Shhhh! That's rock and roll he's playin
Moon Mullican is god.
Moon was my grandmother's brother my grandmother was better my cousin Arlie Duff was a school teacher he met Patsy Cline and brought her into the Industry
Wow. Apparently your great grandfather did not approve of Moon playing "the devil's music".
Arlie Duff was no slouch as a singer. He recorded plenty including a rockabilly classic: What a Way to Die. Cheers Tom.
Horrible sound!
