I use to do this song as a teenager everynight when I played with Wilbert Harrison as well as Kansas City(his other big hit in the 50's). This is his song and was done as a 1 man band and millions have been made off it. He never got a dime off it or Kansas City, and lived in poverty/bordering on homelessness when I was with him. It kind of hits me wierd to see bands like this doing it and making more for 1 show than Wilbert did in a year. Wilbert played the bass drum, guitar, and harp, on this song. He also played piano. I learned the 1 man band from him and this song was the biggest 1 man band hit to date as far as I know. Walter

Here are some old 1 man band recordings I did in tribute to Wilbert
wilbert harrison taught me the 1 man band
