"Red Hot" #82 2/26/1966

Another off-the-wall record from Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, who seemed to be trapped by the novelty success of "Wooly Bully" in '65. It was first done in the 50's by Tarpon Springs, Fla. (Tampa Bay area) native Billy Emerson, who met Ike Turner while in the Air Force in Greenville, Miss. and then relocated to Memphis and its music scene.
