Big Joe Turner sings and Elmore James plays guitar on this novelty song credited as written by Joe's wife, Lou Willie Turner. Cut in Chicago, October 1953.
@sbhoselover mh4272 has Oke She Moke She Pop, and this same TV Mama group recorded it, too. So 'the great Elmore James' is on it as well. Then, come back here to enjoy James' fine break again! :I:

This guitar has a quality that kills. Elmore could sing good too. Heart of the matter.
