Amos Milburn, a forgotten giant

Milburn was the major influence on Fats Domino.

wow Before  Fats Domino .

This was one of the FIRST early-50s R&B songs I heard as a kid. Got me HOOKED on this old stuff!! 25 years, 6,000 records, and two jukeboxes later, still love it!

Too bad he didn't have Tiny Grimes on guitar with him for this date, that's part of what I like so much about the record, but Amos ROCKS.

Thanks for posting.

i love this song ;]

Fabulous stuff : an excellent UK pianist Mike Sanchez does great justice to the most excellent Amos Milburn : great to hear from his nephew, with the story about Little Richard being taught left hand boogie. keep rockin'

nice song :)

I have to say...this is dedicated to the love of my life...Mr. Floyd Lee Phillips...who is in heaven...playing in the best blues band ever right now!!

Thanks for posting...for very loving, sentimental & personal reasons...this means so much!!

I heard Amos Milburn's music all the time when I was a child. The radio stations may have eventually stopped playing his music or he may have stopped making hits but people in my parents' generation never forgot him. Never.

I can remember playing some of his recordings at parties that my sisters and I threw for our parents and their friends and then the "old folks" would get up dance then.

milk and water, now
