Comments and Reviews


laviolet 4th Mar 2024		Fats Domino also played on Billy Tate's 1954 record.



xiphophilos 10th Mar 2022		Interesting! I just learned from Donald Mabry's article, “The Rise and Fall of Ace Records", The Business History Review 64.3 (1990), pp. 411-450, that this record was Ace's first big hit, selling at least 80,000 copies. Mabry also identifies the backup band as the Joe Dyson Band.



laviolet 9th Mar 2022		Fats Domino doesn't play on this record; it's actually Huey Smith. The bogus credit is a gimmick for which label owner John Vincent became notorious. To my knowledge, the only time Domino played on someone else's record was Lloyd Price's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy."
