This 1946 hit for Louis Jordan and his Typany Five was the product of a collaboration between New Orleans Blues singer ‘Lovin’ Sam Theard and Jordan’s long-time writing partner and wife, Flecie Moore. The combination of RnB bounce and Jive swing landed the song a #2 spot on the US R&B charts, and a place in history as one of the best-loved RnB tunes of all time. It has been covered by many artists from Ray Charles to B.B. King and finally Quincy Jones for his album ‘Q’s Juke Joint’ — a love letter to the days of RnB with a modern twist!
