Otis Rush.  You may be familiar with Led Zeppelin’s version from 1969.

@frank "We were young 'n' proud; we were makin' Thunderbirds. We were young 'n' sure; we were makin' Thunderbirds."  Excellent expression of today's rust-belt malaise - thanks Frank, for this intro to Bob Seger. (Though '81, the rust had barely set-in).

On a recent Lounge poll the 57 Chevy didn’t get a lot of love.

@frank I think the '57 actually got a ton of love....but the '55 & '56 just got a bit more.  Lol.

@frank King Creole - his best movie and best '50s soundtrack. Gets more play chez-moi than any other of his albums and likely, all my other records. Thanks for posting.

SPEEDO by The Cadillacs - 'they often call me Speedoo but my real name is Mr. Earl'.  It's nice to think that Mr Earl of the song is Harley, but in fact it is lead singer, Earl Carroll.
