Sister Rosetta Tharp....she influenced a generation of rock and blues players. She even had the arm swing Kieth Moon thought was so great and used all time. Gospel song but it takes off at about a minute 30 and you'll see what I mean.

... from Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, from the album Raising Sand. I can't recommend the album highly enough!
