Sister Sadie
"Sister Sadie" is a jazz standard written in 1959 by Horace Silver, and first recorded for his 1959 Blue Note Records album Blowin' the Blues Away. 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 that: "I didn't know a girl named Sadie. I just wrote it, and that title came to mind."
