From 1962, here's Piano Red, aka Dr. Feelgood and the Interns with the classic "Doctor Feelgood." When you go to the doctor, you expect to feel good. Enjoy!

  • Heard this for the first (and last time) back aroubd 1962 or 1963, on Radio Luxembourg.

    It got played a few times, and that was about it.

    I could never find it since - so thanks a bunch for posting this.

    Great stuff!

  • Great. I still have the 45 with Mr Moonlight on the B side

  • Great to hear "The Doctor" for the first time since high school!

  • His older brother - Rufus Perryman - was also an amazing pianist who wrote and recorded (as "Speckled Red") the classic double entendre Boogie Woogie piece "The Dirty Dozens" in the early 1930s.

  • I have the Okeh album (on which the "doctor" - aka Willie Perryman - only sang 2 or 3 songs). He reinvented himself a couple of times after his initial fame as "Piano Red" in the late 1940s and early 1950s. I got to know him quite well as Dr Feelgood in the 60s and then even more in the 70s when he returned to the name Piano Red and was a fixture in underground Atlanta. Amazing pianist ... but very percussive. Like most albino people he had very bad eyes; but strong, strong hands for the piano.

  • Nice tune Jef. Been missing you on the net [Doo Wop Forum]

  • I can't believe only 1130 people have heard this, It's Brilliant! I still have the '45.

  • I was at a fraternity party at Washington & Lee in 1963 and Dr. Feelgood and The Interns were the entertainment. I was feeling quite " loose" and after they sang this, their signature song, I told Dr. Feelgood, " Dr. Feelgood, you are the greatest ! " to which he humbly replied, " Thank you, man."

  • Vocalist/guitarist on this is Roy Lee Johnson, with Piano Red as Doctor Feelgood, I believe.
