  • Boy, that's a tough call. I think they were just different versions. I'm not sure which one I prefer. Marc.

  • Yeah it is a tough one too call THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT

  • I actually liked both of them alot.

    But I gotta give it to lloyd price, cause theres just something about it, it sounds more original.

  • firme lil vato

  • LW does a good job on the song but I have to agree with you on Lloyd Price being the better of the two. I'm way more familiar with L. Price version.That's the one we all grew up with. I liked your story about the song. thank you for sharing !

  • I guess we all agree .. lloyd price takes it his is better

  • your right lloyd price puts more feeling into it but they r both good jams>> ADOLPH

  • Both good! Maybe the backup a little bit better on Larry's

  • Great stuff bro, I love your taste and knowledge. I am a great admirer of both artists. I would love to someday find a biography of Larry Williams. What a life this cat lived! Thank you.

  • MAN THATS AWESOME MUSICA!!LIKE BOTH VERSIONS!!THNX FOR POSTING!!!RESPECTO!!!

  • @d820m Yea it was leased to ABC but became a massive R&B hit on KRC.Atlantic Records did a deal with Lloyd as well although KRC ,owned by Lloyd and located in Washington DC folded after a couple of years.

  • Larry Williams was a valet to both Lloyd Price and Little Richard

  • @GOLDBAND45 Lloyd 's version ended up on ABC-Paramount...but you are right about his Specialty recordings

  • Lloyd's voice doesn't do any of that "squeaking" when the high notes come.

    Larry was great but no where near the vocal skilled talent that Lloyd was.

  • @unsoldchicano no, not a close call. Lloyd Price has a style and swagger, Larry Williams version is just a reading. Its like Pat Boone covering Fats Domino. Larry Williams wrote some good songs but was mostly a novelty act. Lloyd was a master, a true classic. Jerry

  • No contest Lloyd of course ..
