Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee
written by Stick McGhee
performed by "Sticks" McGhee & His Buddies
recorded 14 February 1949
originally released as Atlantic 873 in March 1949
(an early 70's reissue [Atlantic 45-873] is seen in this video)
Helping Stick on this classic, we find Wilbert "Big Chief" Ellis on piano, older brother Brownie McGhee on guitar, Gene Ramey on bass, and an unknown drummer.
Bill Dahl writes, "Young Granville McGhee earned his nickname by pushing his polio-stricken older brother Brownie through the streets of Kingsport, TN, on a cart that he propelled with a stick. McGhee was inspired to pen "Drinkin' Wine" while in Army boot camp during World War II; it was apparently a ribald military chant that the McGhees cleaned up for public consumption later on. McGhee's first recorded version of the tune for J. Mayo Williams's Harlem logo made little impression in 1947, but a rollicking 1949 remake for Atlantic (as Stick McGhee & His Buddies) proved a massive R&B hit (brother Brownie chiming in on guitar and harmony vocal). The tune has attracted countless covers over the years -- everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Burnette to Wynonie Harris and Larry Dale has taken a sip from this particular wine flask."
Starting in the early 70's, Atlantic started reissuing their back catalog of historic singles. Some of these, like this one, were 78 only releases. This particular pressing is from before 1973, as it has the old "1841 Broadway" address.
