Confusion arises with a song like "Let the good times roll". When Shirley & lee recorded it there was already another song with this title by Louis Jordan. A few years after Shirley & Lee Earl King also recorded a song with this title and off course there was a song "Laissez les bon temps rouler" . Some cover versions took ingredients of the different originals.
@THEMOJOMANsince1959 Actually, some jerks are trying to ''trademark" the phrase. I posted a song by Roosevelt Sykes from the early 30s where he starts off with "Who dat......" Can't remember the song. You're right on your other comment. After a closer listen, no way that is the "Lee" and I don't think the real "Lee" was as tall as that guy either.
I AM shirley goodman and leonard lee's biggest fan........thank you very much you have given me an opportunity that i thought i would never have .....to see them sing live!!!!!!!! cannot find the words to show you how greatful i am to you...i only wish i could have met them in person so that i could tell them that they are the best duo that ever sang...in my ear anyway......yes its gonna hurt me but so long baby bye bye....RIP SHIRLEY AND LEE. FROM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!

This was one of the first "oldies" songs I got to know and love when oldies came back in the early 70s. Thanks to CBS-FM, I loved this song, and so many others. Thanks for posting this!

The duo recorded this song in 1956. I have the song on an oldies album produced by a local radio station.

I don't think that's the original LEE.

Excellent! Few if any of us got to see them in person. This video will forever change that. From the Who Dat Nation, thanks for sharing.
