"Rockin' Is Our Bizness" is an original song by American R&B and jump blues musical group The Treniers. They were well known in the 1940's and 50's and had a a strong reputation for their live performances. The group was also known for the humorous content of many of their songs, and their on stage acrobatics were seen as precursors to the wild antics of many later rock and roll groups. Their lively stage presentations influenced Bill Haley, The Shadows, Paul Revere and Raiders, and beyond. The Treniers played a form of music intermediate between swing and early rock and roll, and "anticipated" some crucial elements of rock & roll with their solid thumping beats and squealing sax solos. Though their sound is more swing influenced, The Treniers introduced several songs that included the words "rock" and "roll". One of the first times rock and roll appeared on national television was in 1954 when the band appeared on the Colgate Comedy Hour, hosted by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
