The second track off of Jeff Lynne's1990 solo album. This album is often hard to find, especially on CD. I have copies on both vinyl and CD :)
Enjoy!

Does anyone know who wrote this song, or who performed it first? It sounds like old 50's rockabilly.

@bwd81977 Good ear! The album notes say Jesse Stone originally wrote the song...it is exactly like you say, an old 50's rocker.

Although, Isaac Hayes also sang a disco version in 1979, and was very successful with it! lol

Roy Hamilton's 1958 version is another great recording of this song. Close your eyes, and you can hear an early Elvis, who Elvis admired.

@MACGYVERKICKYOURASS Jerry Garcia used to do this song with his solo band. Somewhat improbably, Jerry used it as an improv vehicle, sometimes stretching the song to around a half hour in length.
