@skatepunkzero I think sam spent too much time asleep at the switch and spent too much money Pushing Jerry Lee Lewis and not going in other directions. He Lost Johnny Cash Roy Orbison Harold Jenkins and so many others and then Jerry Lee just ruined it all in the summer of '58
At the time of recording and manufacturing this single he still had Cash, Orbison, Perkins, Lewis and others recording for his label for several future releases. So, quite strange why it wasn't released, some rumour says it was due to Parchman "not having a manager", uhm well, I think not releasing this one was a big mistake, could have been a hit single.
Hey !! This will all save me a ton on CD buying. Ever since I sold all my vinyl I believed I had no chance of getting hold of all my Rockabilly favourites :-)
Prior to Jerry Lee's version of Rockin' with RED

@RealSwampcat
Is this a reissue or an original? Scared me a little to see you playing this without a center!

This Kenny Parchman feller missed the big-time by inches. He's 'bout as good as Jerry Lee and Elvis and Johnny C.

If you ever been rockin' you know just what I mean......
Southern Negro slang in the 1950's...
I feel like Rockin' ... I feel like F***in' ...
