    I have been listening to Big Joe Turner almost every day for a couple of years.. listening to the arrangements.. the horns playing one line behind the soloist.. and the bass.. its just the classic early early rock back ups.. with jazz players, and Joe. The 48-55 transition from R&B / jazz of the day into Rock and modern R&B is some rich territory... the horns went away, replace by voices and guitars.. but the stuff was all laid down here.

      g bridgman I heard both and they have their pros and cons overall I like the tempo bill Haley more and the sax a bit more but this one is really good also. I don't think neither bill Haley or joe Turner wrote this song

    Great video! Of course Joe's arrangement of this song was so much better than the white remake by Bill Haley & The Comets. I can't even listen to them sign this song. It's gotta be Joe Turner! Either this or the studio version. Both are great!

  • @Pickinbuddy

    I was 4 years old when this was recorded. It was sad to me how delta blues sorta usurped show blues over time. Show Bluse was so much more jazzy and improvisational. IMHO
