Lonnie was the first blues singer not to be American and opened the doors for all European blues singers. He was a great singer and performer and I would not be recording blues CDs in Ireland without him.
Almost 50 years. Lonnie recorded this number in 1956 for his "Showcase" album, but I just played the 1956 record and there are differences. Also, on this video that's Pete Appleby with the tambourine, so I would guess c. 1961-62. Wonderful to see and hear this old song again. Lonnie was a wonderful performer and a great bloke whom I met several times. As 'battleleader12' wrote, It's so sad that he died (eight years ago now). He ought to be still entertaining us with his music.

Too bad that Lonnie is gone, it's really hard to hear good music like this nowadays.
