This number from Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five topped the R&B charts for 12 non-consecutive weeks in late 1949. It also reached #21 on the US national charts — a big accomplishment for what was viewed as a ‘race record’ in that day. The song, composed by Jordan and Ellis Walsh is the tale of a night gone wrong — full of fun and debauchery down on Rampart Street. This R&B hit has a great beat that’s not to be missed!
