Ruth Brown :::::: Lucky Lips.

[Mr78swing]

is this version older than Cliff Richard's one?

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@Mr78swing

YES !

[fairclough1000]

can't understand why this not played at more rock and roll nights it rocks !!!!!!!!!!!

[DominickFontana]

Great song. Thanks for uploading it. Is the video from the song, "It's Raining Teardrops from my eyes.?"

[recovering16]

I remember this well. Another one that was "redone" by a white singer (Gale Storm). I know this (Rut'h's) version was the one that I bought!!

[swampzoid]

Love Lucky Lips ! ! !

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@allshookup1977

Hi there FrAnK,glad you enjoyed Ruth's original recording of this fun song,most people only seem to know the later cover by Cliff Richard,in which a few words have been changed to make it masculine ! lol

Thanks very much for your great comments,always much appreciated ,,cheeers,,Mick :-))

Have a great Easter Weekend !

[mountain824]

This new to me but enjoyed very much. Superb video Mick!***** Have a lovely evening! maria x

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@mountain824

Very many thanks Maria for the stars and for your kind words,I'm happy that you enjoyed this fun song from Ruth Brown,it was a hit for her in the USA in 1957.

Mick :-))

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@StraussBogart

Ha ha,no-one's called me Lucky Lips either Alan !

This original recording by Ruth got to number 6 in the "Hot 100" in the USA in 1957,but never figured here in the charts,so when Cliff released it in 63/64 people thought it was a new song and it was a pretty big hit for him !

Thanks again for those thumbs,I've got quite a collection now ! LOL

[ebfan41]

Haven't heard this song in many years. Thank you Mick for post.

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@ebfan41

Very many thanks Mary,I'm pleased you enjoyed hearing this fun song by Ruth again,it's an old favourite of mine.

Mick :-))

[Bluemoonofmemphis]

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@Bluemoonofmemphis

Hi Phil,I don't think anyone apart from Rey,knows this original recording by Ruth.It was a hit for her in the States in 1957,but not here,so when Cliff recorded it 6 years later,it seemed like a new song !

Thanks very much for those big stars and thumbs up,I'm really pleased you enjoyed Ruth's rendition Phil,cheeers for now,,Mick :))

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@nipsterstang

Hiya Jim,you got the year spot on,it reached number 6 in the "Hot 100" !

You're right about the song sticking in your mind,it's been going round and round in my head for two days now ! lol

Many thanks for your great comments Jim,glad you enjoyed the song and the video,,cheeers,,Mick :))

[Magryd3344]

I don´t remember this one, only Cliff´s version. Not bad though! Thanks!

Maggan

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@Magryd3344

Hi Maggan,I think everyone knows Cliff's version,it did well for him,but this is the original by Ruth that was a hit for her in the USA in 1957,it never figured over this side of the Atlantic at all.

Glad you liked it Maggan,many thanks,,,,,,,Mick :-))

[CookiesDen2]

Hi Mick -

Another great Ruth Brown song from you. I must admit I am more familiar with the Cliff Richard version although I have heard this one before. Great video clips. I enjoyed this very much. All the stars and two thumbs up!

Rey

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@CookiesDen2

Hiya Rey,

This was a number 6 hit for Ruth in '57 over your way,but it never figured here in the UK.I've put one or two of Ruth's on before,but have lost the videos when the channel closed,I hadn't copied them ! Grrr!

I'm pleased you enjoyed the song from her and the clips,many thanks for the thumbs up and all the stars,they are much appreciated,,cheeers,,Mick :))

[weeyin1155]

Excellent Mick. I've never heard of the singer, but I know the song from the Cliff Richard version. A great upload my friend. Enjoy your day. ♥

[OnlyFiftiesAgain]

@weeyin1155

Hiya Jan,I have put a couple of Ruth's songs on before,a long time ago,she was a terrific singer.I'm pleased you liked her original version of this song,it wasn't a hit here for her though.Thanks for watching,enjoy the sunshine !
