@johnmorris008 John this song was recorded in split stereo ,where the vocals are only on one channel ,if you happen to be listening in mono , you may only be listening to the track with no (or very low) vocals on it .
My cousins and I would play this song...every one of us having a part.."now here's the beat..." "and here's the song"... and we would perform for our parents.. It was so much fun. Check out the Bo weavel song.
This is the one of a few recordings that was made in what was called split stereo, where one mic was used for certain sounds and the other mic was for secondary sounds.. more like front and rear on a QUAD recorder.. It sounds real good!! If this recording was a pressed copy (LP) It would be both stereo and mono playback compatable.
Oh yes B.B Sing it!! May you sing to the stars above.
Awesome video for a great song. He can sing. I use the slogan, 'That's all I need and to make a hit record' whenever the feeling hits me and this song is the source.
OMG!!!! Someone FINALLY posted this amazing song! It's always been neglected and has remained in obscurity since its release in 1961, in favor of B.B.'s more famous hits. I only had a faint recording on my old reel to reel tape recorder. I thank you, "Janschro", from the bottom of my heart!!!
A lot of Brook's early recordings suffered from bad stereo. A real shame and dis-service to the man.

so I could understand them better. Thanks for postin'.
