I’m old enough to remember before automatic coffee makers, when that magic elixir could only be brewed on the stove or with an electric percolator. Music executive Lew Bedell suggested to several studio musicians (later part of the Wrecking Crew) that they record an instrumental Twist version of the Maxwell House ad jingle - “good to the last drop.” They had a previous hit as B. Bumble and the Stingers (“Bumble Boogie”) and did it again here in March 1962 as Billy Joe and the Checkmates.
