This enduring hit showcases Domino's individual talents, and the early power of New Orleans music.
Somehow I was expecting a lot more from this series. Just as it seemed to be getting going, it was cut short. Half of the episode is the song itself, so prepare yourself when it kicks in.
I did appreciate the tidbit about how A&R executives sped up the track to make it difficult for white singers to imitate and appropriate the content which was very common at the time.
h/t to Kevin Smokler and Jeremy Cherfas for uncovering this for me on Huffduffer.com
