Jerry Smith played some rollicking piano for a couple of 1963 hits by the Dixiebelles, “Down At Papa Joe’s“ and “Southtown U.S.A.” before this Top 15 easy listening hit. He also was a Memphis session musician for his pal Bill Justis (“Raunchy”) before moving to Nashville and appearing on records by Chet Atkins and Willie Nelson, among others. Jerry also recorded several dozen instrumental albums under the name The Magic Organ. Seriously.
