This is damn fine fine stuff! i have this one as a part of an compelation LP called Oldies In Hi-Fi that CHESS Released in 1959.
I was pretty happy when i did an video about that fantastic album! GREAT share!
This is the first song that I remember. The idea of waking up in the morning and finding your own self dead fascinated me. I puzzled over it as a three or four year-old. One morning I rolled off my bed and rolled under the bed, all without waking. The bed had dust ruffles hanging from the springs to the floor. When I woke up in complete darkness, I broke into a sweat. I thought I had solved the riddle and awakened to find my own self dead! I was sure happy when my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I could make out the dust ruffles!!
The Blues Brothers brought me here. Jake and Elwood were actually very faithful to the original 1952 song. It was nice of John Belushi, while he was on stage during a concert, to credit this song to Willie Mabon by name. Jon Belushi did not act like a diva and just want all the attention given to him. Belushi also called out his musicians by name and shook their hands during a concert.
