Cecil Gant

Cecil Gant (April 4, 1913 – February 4, 1951) was an American blues singer, songwriter and pianist, whose recordings of both ballads and "fiery piano rockers" were successful in the mid- and late 1940s, and influenced the early development of rock and roll.  His biggest hits were the 1944 ballad, "I Wonder,"  We are going to Rock. Cecil Gant is considered the forefather of rock n roll due to his rocking style.
