An influential gospel song that helped shape rock and roll. Guitar features constant changes up and down the fretboard on a shuffle beat with 2 surprisingly complex solos for the song's age. Bass features a zigzag walking pattern that, while slightly repetitive, requires good dexterity. Drums are a repetitive shuffle beat on the snare with a steady beat that skips the kick a few times. Keys features a jaunty upright piano melody that incorporates a great deal of improvisation, so there is little repetition.
