Cool stuff, have you anything with a virtually un remembered British jazz / Early rock 'n' roll singer Johnny Grant. Toured with The Kirchin Band and then with Tony Crombie band?
Thanks for posting this swinging version of what, I believe, was the first Top 40 white rock 'n' roll hit, by Bill Haley and His Comets in 1953. Interesting how several of the early rock hits borrowed from "Hey! Ba-Ba Re-Bop" from 1946.
Thanks for sharing. Bill Haley & His Comets are favorites of mine and this cover is quite good. In 2003 I had the pleasure of seeing The Original Comets (the 1952-55 line-up) and "Crazy Man, Crazy" was one of the songs they performed.
Got to say that I can imagine Ruth Ellis and David Blakely in The Little Club tearing up the dance floor back in the day. I mean that respectfully.
