I would have to go with Big Joe Turner. If it wasn't for his "Shake, Rattle & Roll" song, Rock N Roll may never have started. Bill Haley was also very big in the beginning of Rock N Roll, but it was Turner that really influenced alot of later stars as in Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
