Gary U.S. Bonds - "New Orleans" - 1960
Bonds's first hit was the song "New Orleans" (reached #6), which was followed by "Not Me", a flop for Bonds but later a hit for The Orlons, and then by his only number one hit, "Quarter to Three" in June 1961. "Quarter To Three" sold one million records, earning a gold disc.[1] Subsequent hits, under his modified name, included "School Is Out" (#5), "Dear Lady Twist" (#9), "School Is In" (#28) and "Twist, Twist, Señora" (#10) in the early 1960s. In a 1963 tour of Europe, he headlined above The Beatles. His hits often featured solos by the saxophonist Gene Barge.[2]
"Quarter to Three" appears on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.
In the early 1980s, Bonds had a career resurgence with two albums Dedication and On the Line, working off collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, and the E Street Band. Later hits included "This Little Girl" (his comeback hit in 1981, which reached #11 on the pop chart and #5 on the mainstream rock chart), "Jolé Blon" and "Out of Work".[2] Bonds continues to release albums sporadically, and today is a mainstay of the nostalgia concert circuit.

i do adore this song. they play it at the mod dance party at the saturn bar in the bywater/upper ninth ward (new orleans) sometimes. he's definitely saying down the mississippi (river) to new orleans. but he does also say every southern belle is a mississippi queen. it's just a flattering thing to say to a belle, she's a missippi belle, they got the prettiest girls.
