Can anyone tell me if bobby helms put this song onto wax ?

Joe Maphis and Bobby Helms....Both superstars in my book. I am a relatively young buck...and I teach my sons about the masters.

Just my opinion, but I actually think Joe Maphis was show-cased very well in this clip. That constant boogie-woogie riff he plays is one of the best parts of the song, and it's quite amazing to hear that (1) on a Hank Williams cover song (2) in the early 1950s! Great performance by both Bobby & Joe.
