 Gunter's original version has become regarded as a contender for the first rock and roll record, predating "Rocket 88" by a year.Gunter followed up with "Gonna Dance All Night", one of the first records to feature the actual words "rock'n'roll".When the Bama label folded, Gunter signed to Decca, and his 1951 duet with Roberta Lee, "Sixty Minute Man," was one of the first country records to cross over to R&B audiences.
