THIS VERY RARE AND ORIGINAL 1961 ALBUM FEATURES SMILEY LEWIS (REAL NAME
IS OVERTON AMOS LEMONS) WHO, UNFORTUNATELY, WAS OVERSHADOWED BY
OTHER ARTISTS LIKE FATS DOMINO AND WITH SOME TITLES THAT TURNED OUT TO BE
HITS FOR ANOTHER PEOPLE (“I HEAR YOU KNOCKING”...“ONE NIGHT”). HIS TORRID UP-
TEMPO ROCKER “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME” WAS INCLUDED IN THE SOUNDTRACK OF
ELIA KAZAN’S MOVIE “BABY DOLL” (1956) ALTHOUGH THIS VERSION IS DIFFERENT
FROM THE ONE RECORDED FOR THE FILM... THE SONG FAILED TO ENTRY IN THE R&B
CHART BUT REMAINS ONE HIS BEST TRACKS BUT, SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, IT IS NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS LP. THE COVER IS IN AWESOME, CLEAN CONDITION AND THE
RECORD AS WELL WITH BRILLIANT GLOSS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE EXCEPT FOR A
FEW NEEDLE MARKS ON TRACK 3 OF SIDE 1, WHICH MAKES CLICKS ON MOST PART
OF THE TITLE. THIS ASIDE, THE REST APPEARS IN HARDLY PLAYED CONDITION.
