Arizona Dranes was a pioneering gospel singer and pianist from Texas who recorded 16 tracks for the OKeh label between 1926 and 1928. Her unique style combined traditional gospel lyrics with ragtime and barrelhouse piano techniques, influencing future artists like Thomas A. Dorsey and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Dranes was the first to introduce piano into gospel music, laying the foundation for the modern gospel sound. Her recordings, such as "He Is My Story" and "It's All Right Now," remain significant contributions to American musical history. The products available from the artist Arizona Dranes include CDs.
