When I was in high school in Little Rock, I used to tune in "Groovy Boy" from KWKH -- shreveport -- he played an hour of this stuff every afternoon!! He was actually white, but he fooled us!!! Later, I moved to Fort Huachuca and the "Army Brats" were having parties and dancing to the same music.

Way before Rock and Roll

@Isotec1 ...me too...just found it...used to try to dance this b4 i could even walk...momma says

[rattlemuse100]

One of the greatest R & B tunes,.........2nd favorite version of this is the Stones---check it!

[Pumarisi124]

Jerry Lee Lewis on Shindig 1965 has an explosive rendition of this song. He's 'real deal' Southern Soul as good as anybody.

Damn! I use to only associate this music with groups

like the Rolling Stones and the Monkeys. Turns out

this was black ghetto music from the hood!! I still dig

the Stones but I wish these cats would've got more

credit. This is so raw.

[MizHappyGoLucky]

Perfect get ready and go out to dance track...just love it!

Never knew what a Wig Hat was, but it was fun to listen to, Wasn't allowed to listen to that "race music" in my youth. We found a way arounfd the restriction..Good thing...

[girlgeekster]

This was a favorite from my misspent youth.  I always loved it for the intricacy of the background, and of course for the undecipherable lyrics.

[MizMackie]

I remember picking this up at a record place right after a Brooklyn Academy of Music concert hosted by Murray the K - one of the best blues guitar/organ hooks out there. Thanks.

[crackersjenkins]
