description: "Clarence \"Pinetop\" Smith was an American boogie-woogie style blues pianist. His hit tune \"Pinetop's Boogie Woogie\" featured rhythmic \"breaks\" that were an essential ingredient of ragtime music, but also a fundamental foreshadowing of rock and roll. The song was also the first known use of the term \"boogie woogie\" on a record, and cemented that term as the moniker for the genre."
