fab song yeah the late great Wilbert Harrison.

@RushmoreGerleve My pleasure! Haven't heard Wilbert's version of Stager Lee, only familiar with Lloyd Price's version... will check it out. A tid bit: Stagger Lee is a true story that happened on Christmas Eve, 1895 in St. Louis. Google it, the story is on line...and good luck with your studies!

@tinkmarz1 Thanks for that information. I study music history, I don't know how I missed that one... I really like Wilbert's Stager Lee too.

This songs rocks the humps on a camel's back. Heard this song on the radio the other day for the first time. Thanks for posting.

Even though boogie woogie music was created way back and predominant in early swing music. I think that this song and in particular the rhythm to it laid the foundation for rock boogie music that so many bands used and eventually turned into heavy metal music.

i love the feeling of hearing this song at the royals game after the game. even though its the song they play when they lose its still a great feeling. they play the beatles version when they win

I knew Wilbert and played guitar in some of his records back in the 60's. I feel very honored to have had that priviledge now. I feel very good reading all the compliments about his music as I know he would too. Rest In Peace, Wilbert, my friend.....

This is the only recording in history to have topped out at number one on R&R, R&B and C&W charts, a feat not accomplished before or since (unless someone can set me straight on that). That fact makes it a hands down true classic, other than the fact it's got to be one of the best songs ever recorded. The year was 1959.
