"Tell It Like It Is", first recorded circa 1960 by the prolific New Orleans musician Edwin Bocage, better known as Eddie Bo. Thanks for recording the fun. I hope they do it again in the street.
@@PopsCoffee Pops, it's probably open to speculation but many attribute the songwriting to Eddie Bo on some of these although the record label says "Allen-Johnson". Delores Johnson was Eddie's wife at the time (and I think later an "Ikette"!). There is a view Eddie used her name to either please her or for "financial" reasons. Bill "The Hossman" Allen was an influential DJ and promoter at radio WLAC, an R&B incubator, and it has been suggested by others that many label owners and songwriters gave him part of the credit (royalties?) to curry favour and perhaps to get their records some airtime.
Great performance. Greg has an adequate sound system, and he's magnificent, with a real edge to his voice. Craig's solo is fine, and he hits high A. And Todd's quick rumba line under everything is energetic and athletic. Difficult to blow that hard at that volume for so long. Shaye of course is Shaye, and we all love her.
Great performance in the midst of Mardi Gras revelry. LOL at Robin trying to get the washboard on over that cone hat :) And a rare glimpse of one of the band's "fake book" style scores. Nice audio blend-in from the parade to the Muses, by the way.
Après la planche à laver, le piccolo a sonné , dans ce divertissement qui me pousse à penser que ce "Crazy Donnkey" vaut bien une messe dans les villes de "légendes" converties au carnaval ...
Very hypnotic a little different style very cool! Shaye looks so cute!
Great mood, perfect
Oh,man , its the birth of rock’n roll . The beat, the beat !
Awesome!!

Thanks! I should’ve known this, love me some Eddie Bo!
Actually composed by Allen & Johnson, 1960. But yes: recorded by New Orleansian Edwin Joseph Bocage [aka Eddie Bo]).

I have loved this song since it first came out about 60 years ago. My idea of NO music back then. Some of the blues shown in it.
KLasse klasse,klasse !!!!!!
Great, great, great !!!!!!
Thanks Raoul for another great vid of TS
Where is Ericka???????????????????????
Great rogue apostrophe on the CD notice!
The rhythm is like "Jailbird" bit it is another tune in the same style.
Poor Robin, having trouble getting his washboard on ...................
Hard to tell if Robin's laughing his head off - or if it's the makeup!
What's the name of this song?
Who is the piccolo guy?
Izaak Mills on piccolo!
Waiting for "They all axe o' you"

Poor washboard player had a hard time getting his washboard strap over his conehead dunce cap.
