This is the early raw version of Albert King. Good stuff nonetheless and a must have for fans of Albert King. It's interesting to see what his ultimate style evolved from.

Chicago is doing it's best to make bars like this as extinct as the dodo bird.

We used to have rockin parties in the mid 70's at my friends house. Up in the attic. We'd go until just about the break of dawn. This one was a favorite dance number. This music was at least 20 years old then, but we knew what was good and what wasn't. Great times.

From B.B. King's most creative period.

The man's a poet.

@ted31082 The song was recorded in 1957 and released, under the wrong title "Lama Rama Ding Dong," in 1958. The song did not become popular until 1961 when a rock n roll DJ began to give it airplay.

@amrak63 Oh it was dangerous. Fun,exciting and exhilarating too. A perfect afternoon antidote to the boredom of a day in school.

Before PC America existed prospective cops in most academies had to be 5'7 or 5'8 and a minimum of 140-50 lbs. They were also required to pass a difficult physical challenge exam. Sometime in the 1970's that all changed and now we have situations like this. I don't wish to disparage the lady. I'm...

My old neighborhood gone completely to hell. At least I have my memories.

I always thought it was lousy that the white bread Shadows of Knight version of this song got more airplay. That version is tame. This one is dangerous.

@srercrcr Correct. The Mar-Keys, formed in 1958, were an American studio session band for the Stax label from Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1960s.

I thought this song was lost to me. I haven't heard it since 1965 or 66. Long live that old time 60's soul.

Shane Carwin is tough I'll grant you that. He was no match for Dos Santos and is not championship caliber. Also, I've seen a lot of fights stopped quickly when someone is getting pounded like Carwin was. For instance, the recent championship fight between the pretender Velasquez and the new champ...

This got regular airplay on WLAC Nashville, TN in the summer of 1967.

@ack848 That is the best explanation and description of Monk I've ever read or heard. I wish I had put it that way myself.

What a find.

The trumpet player is probably Bill Coleman, an African American from Kentucky who moved to France for the first time in 1935, and worked with Django Reinhardt..

From the album of the same name. "Big" John Patton - organ Richard Williams - trumpet (tracks 1-3 & 5) Fred Jackson - tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone (tracks 1-3 & 5) Grant Green - guitar Ben Dixon - drums

Great tune. Thanks for posting it. I'm probably going to be playing it a lot.

I've tried to say what I think is wrong and then young posers rip me. In the meantime I'll try to increase the number of views as best I can. This video is a real find.

Many thanks. This is my all time favorite jazz album. Even the critics seem to agree with me on this. It's as close to jazz perfection as it gets. The movie wasn't bad either. Mary Murphy was great. Yes, Brando and Lee Marvin too.

As good as it gets. Put the entire album on here.

My all time favorite jazz album and I have hundreds.

This was a big hit in Chicago during the heyday of WVON, the biggest, baddest low watt radio station ever.

These songs you are putting out here on youtube are from B.B. KIng's most creative period.
