Fats Domino did this one first in 1960. An Arkansas rockabilly performer, Jerry Jaye, recorded it in one take as a B-side at a session costing all of $13. Jerry took the single to the Hi label in Memphis; they liked that B-side better and the 45 took off. It was his only rock hit, though he made a few country records in the 70's. Jerry and his wife moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where last I heard, he still plays the club-VFW-American Legion circuit. A rockin' little number here.
