A funny follow-up to Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-In-Law". Just when she packed up and left, his mooching Brother-in-law is standing at the door. Paul Peek was a vocalist/guitarist with Gene Vincent from 1956-58. This song charted at #84 on 5/15/61.

  • This was recorded in Nashville and was produced by Joe South. The musicians included Joe Stampley and Merle Kilgore along with a group called The Uniques from Shreveport, LA. The song was an "answer record" to Ernie K-Does "Mother-In-Law". This is one of the two recordings that charted on Billboards Hot 100 for Paul. It was really big hit at WAPE-AM in Jacksonville, FL in May of1961. Paul was very talented but simply never had a chance with a good record distributor.

  • Thanks for this excellent information.

  • Radio hit in Boston but no heavy sales in stores. Had a good dist. in King but no promotion

  • I knew Paul back in the early 70's. I played bass and would sit in for his regular bassman when he wanted a night off.He was a great entertainer. One of his favorite numbers was the "The 12th of Never"

  • I know some of the musicians that worked with paul. I am from greenville SC. The piano on this piece is similar to where Esqurita got to with New Orleans style. Is this esqu playing on this track?? I also worked with Cliff Simmons that went to Hollywood to work with Paul in thoes days. Cliff's Mother came and took him back home he was 16 yrs. old. Ha!!

  • Love this 45.... im kind of upset that my copy is cracked, though.

  • Paul Peek rulez!

  • Fun :)
