Cecil Gant was an American blues singer, songwriter and pianist, whose recordings of both ballads and "fiery piano boogie woogie rockers" like, "We're Gonna Rock" in 1950, is considered to have influenced the practitioners of early development of rock and roll. Gant had a propensity for alcohol, so when he ran out of money he would gather some studio musicians and compose a song on the fly on the piano. If others didn't get the music the first time around, that was it, because he couldn't remember what he did. Gant would dream up and write a song while he sat there, and give it a title. The uniqueness of the thing is that all of them sold.
