Chef Boyardee jumping kid

[PopcornDave]

Can anyone tell me the name or artist of the old blues track in the Chef Boyardee commercial with the jumping kid? Google hasn't been much help. Thanks!

The song is called 'Strange Things Happening Every Day'.

The original track is by gospel-singing great, SISTER ROSETTA THARPE.

Listen to sample here (Disk 3, Track 14).

The version used in the commercial was specially recorded for the ad by New York singer, ALICIA DE HAAS.
