Perhaps the writer meant Shake Rattle & Roll, which was a cover of Joe Turner's R&B song.
I was around during this era, and never knew that some of the songs that I was enjoying were covers of R&B songs. It was only years later that I heard the original versions of SINCERLY, TWEEDLE DEE, GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART, TUTTI FRUTI and so many others
