With ‘Buzz Me’ the writing team of Danny Baxter and Fleecie Moorie took Louis Jordan down a notch with a heavy swingin’, fun blues number. It must have hit the ‘sweet spot’ as Jordan’s single rocketed to the #1 spot on the R&B charts in 1946. The great B.B. King revisited the blues number with a cover for his 1999 tribute album to Louis Jordan titled ‘Let The Good Times Roll: The Music Of Louis Jordan’. King’s take stays true to the original, but modernizes it with his bluesy vocal stylings.
