OMG I`ve accidentally clicked the `dislike` button! Love this song so much I was trying to get the volume up to maximum. So sorry. Fantastic number!

[CharlesBarry]

WHO DO- VOODOO, THAT'S WHO.

[sammydwm]

powerful.......

[hebneh]

Just about as mixed-up as a gal can be -

He done voo-voo-voo-voo-voodoo'd me!

I just remembered that I have this song on an old Halloween CD or maybe even cassette tape, along with other spooky/scary/supernatural tunes. And this was the best music on that compilation.

[shizzleman8]

@hebneh I had it on Elvira's haunted hits! Yes, there was a close second though, me thinks it was the 4th track.

[Boldorion1958]

"Voodoo, Voodoo" should have been released in 1958, a year which saw the release of tunes such as "The Blob," "Frankenstein's Den," "The Purple People Eater," "Zombie," and "The Monster."

Was Lavern Baker's 'soul on fire' ever released as a single?

[funknroll]

@horrorshow76

Yes, it was her debut single on Atlantic Records in 1953.

[dizzykitten62]

what was the A side of this fab record

[funknroll]

"Hey Memphis"/ "Voodoo Voodoo", Atlantic single #2119. The A side featured the great King Curtis on sax.

[asdasdasdasdasdas497]

@funknroll Memphis Soul Stew.

[SpeedLimone]

Was that Phil Spector producing Lavern Baker?

[funknroll]

I couldn't find a definite answer on that. The song was recorded in '58, but only released as a B-side in '61. Though Phil produced the A-side, there was no producer's credit on the B-side.

Phil did begin producing in '58 so it's still possible. If anyone knows better, let us know.

[Lungomolto]

One of the best song ever - cool pics man!

[PinkFairy1961]

I can kick myself still for not attending her memorial service in NY when I had the chance. I love her voice and this is my fav song of hers. RIP Laverne.

[gangerollo]

Yes very good. Saw a pic of Screaming Jay Hawkins. The originator of "I put A Spell On You". Have a record w/him. Relly scary stuff.
