Rosco Gordon - Keep On Doggin'

Mono vinyl reissue

Rosco Gordon was best known as a progenitor of a loping style of piano shuffle called "Rosco's Rhythm." Jamaican musicans got hold of 7-inch 45s that Gordon recorded in the early 1950s and created ska, which took its name for the sound of this shuffle style as it sounded played on an electric guitar. Keep On Doggin', originally released in 1982, is a scholarly compilation of Gordon's singles from his early '50s R&B to mid-'60s soul.

On July 11, 2002, Gordon died of a heart attack at his home in Queens, N.Y.. He was 74.
