This is from the 1920's

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

The Little Richard version reminds me of the movie Christine. Smoking beat and vocal from Richard

Richards cover is amazing! his vocals are fantatsic cool

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

The 1920s version is so cool, never heard it before. Its no wonder where Big Joe Turner & Pete Johnson got their stuff from after listening to this.

Love the trumpet addlipping music

It's kind of long for that time period though.

I found this 45 at my grandparents house in the attic when I was a little kid. I took it home and wore it out on my record player. Great song! cool Didn't know it was a cover from the 20s. Thanks for the info. wink
