he had enough cool for an army! the KPPC monday night show in the 70s-80s was one of the greatest things to ever come out of any radio

[juniormcfadden]

A great R'n'B number from 1958 which brings back many memories. Rest in peace, Johnny, you were one cool cat

This is the version that was the top ten hit in 58...some of the others on here are not...

[raceygofast]

I always loved the sound of the guitar on this.

[d820m]

@raceygofast its just as well.....its none other than Jimmy Nolen, later of the James Brown Orchestra

[bellgardens53]

Yep! This sounds as it S-O-U-L-D SOUND!! No half baked re-make. Sorry for that Otis (the later version of you, lol) but this is THE version I have on LP. Always loved the line, "...doctor and the lawyer 'n the indian chief, now they all dig that crazy beat..." ...and confused as I can understand the chief dug it as the indians are - anyway used to be, maybe even up to the latter pt of the 50's, nature people, doing rain dance and all the hoola palooka, but the doctor...or is it a witch doctor?

[bellgardens53]

@bellgardens53 ...guess the lawyer is a natural as he is crooked and need a "hand-jive" baaaaaad. Hahahahaha. Yep, the music is crazy, so they say, maybe I'm bordering it too. Okay, folks, now dig this crazy beat...and do it with your feet too.

[bellgardens53]

@bellgardens53 ...into the favs, anyway!
