  • Thank you.

    This version (billed as with ‘Roscoe’ Gordon was recorded, in Memphis, sometime in AUG 1951. Ike Turner recorded the session for RPM Records (RPM 344, b/w COLD COLD WINTER - issued in 1952?).

    Rosco Gordon p, voc/ probably Willie Wilkes ts (1:17)/ John Murry Daley, d

    Rosco Gordon hated BOOTED - even booted it from all his appearances.

    The AUG '51 CHESS Records version (seconds shorter) is noticeably different from this one, tho the musicians are almost the same ones. :I:

  • @Finkanslig Thanks for all the great info. Here's wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!!!!

  • Finally someone downloaded the original! emories of my uncles and being a young teen in the late 60's hearing their music as they drank in the backyard BBQ's. I wish i had all those old 78 RPM's adain.. Lookin for an old 78rpm honker from early 50's called "Playboy Hop" by The Rockin Brothers on a label named "Elko" Super awesome sxaphone instrumental with a mean baritone,,tenor,and Alto sax riff

  • @OldMrMemories Glad you enjoyed! Good memories are wonderful to relive. I have "Playboy Hop" by the Rockin' Brothers. Will post it later today.

  • I'mglad you uploaded the original. This is the one I heard as a kid in my neighborhood

  • @9thWardBluezBox Thank you friend. Your channel is pure treasure

  • @9thWardBluezBox well, thank you,man.

  • @WholeLotofRocknRoll I meant to say "dissect" not "direct" but you summed it up perfectly.

  • @9thWardBluezBox Yes you're completely right and thats what i'm thinking the whole time. i dont know who invented those music style names ( probably the musicians themselves) but i think they fixate too much on the regions than listening to the music itself. and thats what confuses people in the future.because they will stick to it like it has been said. take r&b and r&r for ex..it's the same thing but has 2 diff. names. and today they think bill haley or elvis have invented it. totally CRAZY !!

  • @WholeLotofRocknRoll Go you one better. Zydeco is thought of as South La. music but without S.E. Texas, not sure it would even exist. Then there's the old school Tex-Mex. Listen to some of the early recordings by Freddy Fender, Doug Sahm and others. Perhaps Tex-Mex-La would have been more appropriate. But, rather than direct it, I just sit back and enjoy it and meet some cool people along the way....present company included.
