Roseanne Cash said that this was her father's favorite song. Sister Rosetta was also a big favorite of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. Personally, I could listen to her music 24/7. Anyone who has never heard her music is definitely missing something special.

Sister Rosetta makes me feel good.
I want to dance and worship the Lord.

I love her! She is awesome! I think she started rock and roll. I'm working on a gospel album and I just love her style. Inspiration!!!!

This was on the Chef Boyardee commercial!

Definitely first record of RnR, besides it may be considered the first reggae, since it is a religious music ;-)

@cannonball you damn straight ...Delta cats (with Ike Turner too) couple of months before Bill Haley

@lyon406 Rocket 88 was Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats, not Bill Haley.

@bobluman She also was a major influence on Patsy Cline, according to Patsy. Listening to Patsy sing "Life's Railway to Heaven" I hear Sister Rosetta's influence in the way Patsy ends a note.

It sounds like Rock n Roll to me.

Hahaha pls! Lets even put this song aside go and listen to Roy Brown - Good Rockin' Tonight 1947 years before Bill copied so many others

@wkunzelman1 That said, this is still an important precursor to rock & roll.

It's a great song, no doubt about it. Thanks for posting it. The hum makes it difficult to listen to, though. And the title is "Strange Things Happening Every Day."

Thanks for this. It was driving me crazy trying to find out what the heck this piece of music was.
The buzzing's annoying though. What is it?
