[pookiedoowop]

Great song! and, you better know how to dance!

[RetroJenny]

Dynamite song and very funny video.

[rgath1964Utube]

I Guess, I'm Dumb-Founded! Yes! I remember "Raining In My Heart," was GREAT! But maybe I'm in love with the BLUES & the Harmonica -- Well I tried to blow that thing -- But could never get my tongue into the right position -- Grandpa did it well -- but, then what did you do in a time before RADIO & easy transportation?

[roybark]

I had this on on 45 vinyl till my flat mate did a runner with all my record collection. It belonged to my dad who had passed away and I loved listening to it and especially the B side, "I'm gonna miss you (like the devil)". If you have Slim's recording of this, please post on you tube as I can't find it anywhere and would love to hear it again!!!

[stanich054]

[Greenhornet270]

Easy to see where all our "Modern" dances of the 60s came from!! 60's were a great time to be alive....until 1968 when I went to Vietnam...

Check out my latest blues harp video - Doctor Ross playing 'Doctor Ross's Boogie' shown below

[deltadude61]

@baldyal Bravo! =) I enjoyed your video footage. Harpo Slim... I remembered the music quite well growing up as a young kid. And use to listen to it on WDIA. My Uncle use to play this song on his Harp. Bring back so many memories. Cheers!

[rockincarbonara]

yeah..! Now we all know where elvis got his movements.. ;-)

[TheSnidge]

@rockincarbonara If you mean the two guys dancing they were filmed at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960-quite a while after Elvis' rock'n roll period.

[baldyal]

@TheSnidge yes, they are dancing to Muddy Waters 'Got My Mojo Working' - I slowed the video down to fit the music.

[MRBLINDBOYGRUNT]

bluesman from the delta,miss your music slim.

[rockaboi]

love it! Make me tap my feet

[mrjohnavery]
