I thought Billy Riley was the original of this.....sucha great great tune. Another goldmine!

The original is a blues tune. Recorded at Sun records, Memphis TN. 219 - Billy "The Kid" Emerson : Red Hot / No Greater Love (6-1955).Many artists came to cover this through the years.Billy Lee Riley perhaps became the most well known with it.This here B. Luman version is a fantastic rocker as well.A real bomb! Thanks for visiting and supporting my site.

Not as good as BILLY LEE RILEY'S Version.....Murray.

[dayroemer]

I love this version by Luman.The only thing I can guess as to why Riley's version gets the most play is because Riley was on the Sun label during the hey day of rockabilly.Sun was the biggest studio of it's time that had the biggest rockabilly artist in the late 50's.Sun artist got most of the airplay on radio in south during these times.

Thanks for the great info! Ill have to go looking for the Emerson version, as I love this tune in all its forms. Im a long time subscriber, you have the best music selection on all of youtube. An incredibly rare, valuable, and IMPORTANT record collection that I could only dream of matching. Thanks for sharing them with us. Do you have a hifi or other players too or just this portable?
