Singer / saxophonist Jimmy Cavallo was one of the first white rock 'n' rollers, several years before the term rock 'n' roll had even been coined. During his high school days in Syracuse he played in a swing band, playing harmony on alto sax. Influenced by Louis Jordan and Paul "Hucklebuck" Wiilliams, he switched to tenor sax and formed his own combo, the Jimmy Cavallo Quartet in 1947. It was a white R&B band that sounded black and held residence in North Carolina, where Jimmy served in the Navy. Cavallo claims to have invented the shag dance movement, which is still quite popular in the Carolinas. He is best known for performing with his band in the 1956 movie, Rock Rock Rock, by pioneering music DJ Alan Freed. Jimmy and the Houserockers were the first all-white band to play at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, where they celebrated the movie's release.
