"Rocket 88" is a rhythm and blues song, first recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 3 or 5, 1951. The recording was credited to "Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats"; the single reached number-one on the Billboard R&B chart. Many music writers acknowledge its importance in the development of rock and roll music, with several considering it to be the first rock and roll record. In 2017, the Mississippi Blues Trail dedicated it's 200th marker to "Rocket 88" as an influential record; the song was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1991, the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Singles in 2018. The original version of the twelve-bar blues song was credited to Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats, which hit number one on the R&B charts; the band was 19-year-old Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm band, who rehearsed at the Riverside Hotel in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Brenston sang the lead vocal and was credited with writing "Rocket 88." The song was a hymn of praise to the joys of the Oldsmobile "Rocket 88" automobile, introduced, was based on the 1947 song "Cadillac Boogie" by Jimmy Liggins.

It was preceded and influenced by Pete Johnson's "Rocket 88 Boogie" Parts 1 and 2, an instrumental recorded for the Los Angeles-based Swing Time Records label in 1949. Drawing on the template of jump blues and swing combo music, Turner made the style rawer, superimposing Brenston's enthusiastic vocals, his own piano, tenor saxophone solos by 17-year-old Raymond Hill. Willie Sims played drums for the recording; the song features one of the first examples of distortion, or fuzz guitar recorded, played by the band's guitarist Willie Kizart. The song was recorded in the Memphis studio of producer Sam Phillips in March 1951, licensed to Chess Records for release; the record was supposed to be credited to Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm featuring Jackie Brenston, but Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats was printed instead. Turner blamed Phillips for this error; the legend of how the sound came about says that Kizart's amplifier was damaged on Highway 61 when the band was driving from Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee.

An attempt was made to hold the cone in place by stuffing the amplifier with wadded newspapers, which unintentionally created a distorted sound. Peter Guralnick, in his biography of Sam Phillips has the amplifier being dropped from the car's trunk when the band got a flat tire and was digging out the spare. Link Wray explains the development of his fuzz tone with a similar story. "Rocket 88" was the third-biggest rhythm and blues single in jukebox plays of 1951, according to Billboard magazine, ninth in record sales. The single reached the top of the Best Selling R&B Records chart on June 9, 1951 and stayed there for three weeks, it spent two weeks at the top of the Most Played Juke Box R&B Records chart. Turner and the band were only paid $20 each for the record, with the exception of Brenston who sold the rights to Phillips for $910. Ike Turner's piano intro on "Rocket 88" influenced Little Richard who used it for his hit song "Good Golly, Miss Molly."Many writers have suggested that "Rocket 88" has strong claims to be called the first rock'n'roll record, but others take a more nuanced view.

Charlie Gillett, writing in 1970 in The Sound of the City, said that it was "one of several records that people in the music business cite as'the first rock'n'roll record.'" It has been suggested by Larry Birnbaum that the idea that "Rocket 88" could be called "the first rock'n'roll record" first arose in the late 1960s. Music historian Robert Palmer, writing in The Rolling Stone History of Rock & Roll in 1980, described it as an important and influential record, he noted that Hill's saxophone playing was "wilder and rougher" than on many jump blues records, emphasized the record's "fuzzed-out, overamplified electric guitar". Writing in 1984, Nick Tosches, though rejecting the idea that it could be described as the first rock'n'roll record "any more than there is any first modern novel – the fact remains that the record in question was possessed of a sound and a fury the sheer, utter newness of which set it apart from what had come before." Echoing this view, Bill Dahl at AllMusic wrote:Determining the first actual rock & roll record is a impossible task.

But you can't go too far wrong citing Jackie Brenston's 1951 Chess waxing of "Rocket 88, "is a seminal piece of rock's fascinating history with all the prerequisite elements in place: indecipherable lyrics about cars and women. Rock art historian Paul Grushkin wrote:Working from the raw material of post-big band jump blues, Turner had cooked up a mellow, cruising boogie with a steady-as-she-goes back beat now married to Brenston's enthusiastic, sexually suggestive vocals that spoke of opportunity and conquest; this all combined to create "THE mother of all R&B songs for an evolutionary white audience". Michael Campbell wrote, in Popular Music in America: And The Beat Goes On:Both the distortion and the relative prominence of the guitar were novel features of this recording – these are the elements th

RosettaNet is a non-profit consortium aimed at establishing standard processes for the sharing of business information. RosettaNet is a consortium of major Computer and Consumer Electronics, Electronic Components, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Telecommunications and Logistics companies working to create and implement industry-wide, open e-business process standards; these standards form a common e-business language, aligning processes between supply chain partners on a global basis. RosettaNet is a subsidiary of GS1 US the Uniform Code Council, Inc.. It was formed through the efforts of Fadi Chehade, its first CEO. RosettaNet's 500 members come from companies around the world; the consortium has a presence in USA, Europe, Taiwan, Singapore and Australia. RosettaNet has several local user groups; the European User Group is called EDIFICE. The RosettaNet standard defines both e-commerce document and exchange protocols, as part of the Electronic data interchange; the RosettaNet standard is based on XML and defines message guidelines, interfaces for business processes, implementation frameworks for interactions between companies.

Addressed is the supply chain area, but manufacturing and material data and service processes are in scope. The standard is spread in the global semiconductor industry, but in electronic components, consumer electronics, telecommunication and logistics. RosettaNet originated in the USA and is used there, but it is well accepted and supported by governments in Asia. Due to the widespread use of EDIFACT in Europe, RosettaNet is used less; the RosettaNet Automated Enablement standard uses the Office Open XML document standard. The RosettaNet Technical Dictionary is the reference model for the classification and characterization of the products in the supply chains that use RosettaNet for their interactions.
