About Sister Sadie

"Sister Sadie" is a jazz standard written by pianist Horace Silver in 1959 and first recorded for his Blue Note Records album Blowin' the Blues Away, that same year. In 1961, Silver commented on Hank Crawford's version presented on the album More Soul: "They did this a little faster than I intended, but then that's their interpretation – the way they hear it [...] it's more of a blues-band-type interpretation". Silver reported, "I didn't know a girl named Sadie. I just wrote it, and that title came to mind."
