1959
JUST A LITTLE BIT * ROSCOE GORDON * TOP RANK 332 * UK
Roscoe Gordon's distinctive 'shuffle' beat is credited as being a major influence on the popular music of Jamaica in the pre Ska era and eventually helping to shape the sound of Ska itself; interestingly it is the rather old fashioned sound (at the time of its release) of this R&B record that was to have such an affect on the new music.
