Goin' Home - Roscoe Gordon

Rosco Gordon (1928-2002) not only placed many a hit on the rhythm & blues charts in the 1950s, he is also remembered as one of rock and roll's founding fathers and a key figure in the formation of Jamaican ska. Hailed for his unique sense of timing and off-beat shuffle on the 88s, something Phillips called "Rosco's Rhythm," the gifted R&B veteran is now considered a seminal early rock piano player alongside Ike Turner and a few others.
