The Wallflower by Etta James & The Peaches on 1954 Modern-Hollywood 45 Record.

Modern-Hollywood record# 947. This is from a oldies compilation I made on Maxell chrome cassette tape many years ago, but the tape is like new yet, and I no longer have the 45 record(I wish I still did!!). Tribute to Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins): January 25, 1938 - January 20, 2012 age of 73.

I've emailed the former head of the radio station I copied that radio show from, to see if he had any insight or info on ©'s. Oh, I did find the cassette, btw ;) .

@DJDrugless

That will be great to hear some of these now vintage radio shows as they give a good glimpse of the time they were done in...Friends, Lloyd.

@lrh1966 Great News! I just got the OK to post the old radio show from "Daddy Cool"'s current producer. I'll do the transfer and let you know when it's "live".

@DJDrugless

That will be great to check out, let me know how it goes...Friends, Lloyd.

Oh goodness! I have a cassette of a radio show I used to listen to called "Daddy Cool" from sometime back in the 80's. It featured recordings of Hank Ballard and "Work With Me Annie" was one of the tracks played. Etta James track here was an answer song that one. Time to go digging through my archives again

@DJDrugless

Those will be cool additions here when you get them up...I am glad I kept my cassettes as some of the records I put on them I no longer have, and the tapes back them up to a degree...Friends, Lloyd.

I've tracked down the actual host/DJ of the show and have sent him an email, as well. I'm hoping to get permission to post the program. I don't want to be violating anyone's ©'s!

The Johnny Otis info is quoted from the NY Times, 2012/01/20/arts/music/johnny-o­tis-musician-dies-at-90.html.

"As was often the case in those days with records by black performers, a toned-down version was soon recorded by a white singer and found a wider audience: Georgia Gibbs’s version, with the title and lyric changed to “Dance With Me, Henry,” was a No. 1 pop hit in 1955. (Its success was not entirely bad news for Ms. James. She shared the songwriting royalties with Mr. Ballard and the bandleader and talent scout Johnny Otis, who had arranged for her recording session. Mr. Otis died on Tuesday.)"
