Description
Gunter Lee Carr
(Cecil Gant)
This is considered by some to be one of the very first
Rock N' Roll records!
Private Cecil Gant
was a boogie woogie star from 1945 until his death in 1951 of an alcohol overdose and possible heart attack.
Cecil Gant goes into the history books as the first casualty of Rock and Roll.
But he didn't die until he waxed some of the greatest rock and roll sides ever made. This one ROCKS!
In 1950 he was signed by Decca Records as the venerable old major tries a move into the building R & B field.
The first sessions for Decca are marked by trying something new - a change of name for Gant
who is listed on the label as Gunter Lee Carr (for his main influence Leroy Carr) and his version of “Goodnight Irene”
and the followup record called “We're Gonna Rock” in July of 1950. “Rock” was not very well received when originally issued,
but over the years has gained in importance as a historic early influence on the development of rock music.
After that original Decca session Gant reverts back to his own name.
