Comments and Reviews


sladesounds 18th Jul 2014		"One Mint Julep" was a R&B song written by Rudy Toombs that became a hit for The Clovers in 1952. Toombs was hired by Atlantic Records to write humorous up-tempo rhythm and blues novelty songs. The humor in this song comes in part from the idea of a young black man getting drunk on mint juleps, thought of as an aristocratic southern white woman's drink. In 1961 "One Mint Julep" finally reached a mass audience when Ray Charles's instrumental version reached No. 1 on the R&B charts and also No. 8 on the pop chart. Charles' version, featuring him on the Hammond B-3 organ, was from his 1961 album "Genius + Soul = Jazz".
