There was no 'first RNR song,' the form evolved gradually. If you have to choose a 'first RNR song,' Rocket 88 is a very good choice. The song was actually done by Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm. However, for some unknown readon, the producer wanted Ike to do another number and Jackie Brenston, a sax player in the Kings of Rhythm sang the song and the band was the ficticious 'Delta Cats.'
