I had never heard this song until I heard Hugh Laurie's version on his CD. It got me curious who the original artist was... This is great. Truly, truly great. (:-3
I used to play this for Georgia-the bartender at the Brass Key in Ensley,Alabama back in the mid 90's- She loved it-and who doesn't- it's a pure classic from one of the greatest singers ever.
Ths is one of the greatest proformers in the 50s and 60s. I am sorry he had to leave us so soon. He was one of my fav/ proformers. May he continue rest in peace. He is now on the night shiff, with Otis, James, Jackie, Clyde, David, Jimmy, Ray, and many others who has gone.
I think my mom had this song and played it but I remember a female vocalist recorded this song but I can't remember who. I was a real young kid then but I don't know, for some reason I think Millie Collier "I Had a Talk with My Man" did a cover of this song and I keep thinking it was her. Great song overall.
A great song that never really caught on as it should have. It was recorded on the King label, and it was released in early 1960. The talented Arkansas-born singer was convicted of manslaughter in 1966, and he died of a heart attack two years later, at the age of 30, in Washington State Prison.
I love this song. When I was a kid singing in a rock n roll band, I use to sing this song all of the time.
