 Rocket 88 was recorded in Memphis, Sun Records, 1951, and distributed by Chess Records in Chicago. The credit of the singer and saxophonist Jackie Brinston and his Delta Cats. The band was actually Ike Turner on piano and his Kings of Rhythm. The famous fuzz guitar was from a broken amp used by Willie Kaiser. I call these classic car romance songs autoerotic. Much love for the latest automobile technology. The Oldsmobile 88.
