If you are ignorant about American music you don't need to show it. Sex has been an integral part of blues and jazz since its earliest roots. Some of the earliest paying gigs for jazz musicians was in New Orleans bordello's.

Both songs (the same song, really) were written by Roy Brown. He wrote GRT first. Brown wrote a third version called "Good Mambo Tonight."

This is like, the same thing as Rockin at Midnight. :p

This aint rock... it's more like a swing thing with some jazz overtones.

This is great. Is it rock n' roll, r n' b, jazz/swing or what? Hell.. I don't know. They're all labels. All these styles have a habit of 'bleeding' into each other. At least to these ears they do. I dig this.

Great song, but not rock & roll. This is jazz/swing

[Patrick Wall]

Great song. Later made famous by Wynonie Harris, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley proving this song is a blues/R&B/rock 'n' roll history all by itself. Roy also wrote "Grandpa stole my baby", which Moon Mullican did as well. King Records produced excellent music and sowed the seeds for the Sun records.

Sounds like Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air lol! cool music. had to have been a jaw dropper for that era. pure Rock n Roll! love it!

Some consider this the first Rock and Roll tune ever recorded ! some claim Rocket 88. I vote for Roy!
