One good dancing, foot stompin good time rock n roll songs ever, and Miss Ruth lays down those lyrics just right, you can feel the heartbreak and love.

Think she recorded two versions of this. One on Atlantic and, err, another less raw sounding take. I'll never make a top collector, head like a sieve...

You may be right, thanks good info.

I bought that record, new, on 78 RPM, for 49¢, in 1954.  

That was before the vast majority of posters on here were even gleams in their parents' eyes.  

That was when 49¢ could get you 10 giant chocolate bars, or an early-bird dinner in a sitdown restaurant, or a shave in a barbershop, or 10 telephone calls in a phone booth, or 5 daily newspapers, or 50 hockey cards (along with 10 horrible pink sticks of bland-tasting chewing gum dusted with powdered sugar).

great record!

Nice performance...
