Rosco N.
Gordon III (April 10, 1928 – July 11, 2002) was an American blues singer and songwriter.
He is best known for his hit songs "Booted" and "No More Doggin'" (1952) and "Just a Little Bit" (1960).
Gordon played piano in a style known as "the Rosco rhythm," with the emphasis on the off-beat.
This rhythm was an influence on the Jamaican pianist Theophilus Beckford and hence on reggae music as a whole.
