MILDRED BAILEY - Rock It for Me (1938)
Issued in 1938, "Rock It for Me" is the first song on record to refer to "rock and roll" as a music and dance craze (unlike the Boswell Sisters, whose "Rock and Roll" was about being at sea and rockin' and rollin' with the waves).
Mildred is one of the most overlooked superstars in music history. Get to know and appreciate her now.
