Earl King

Hey folks, today we're gonna listen to the great Earl King - his first single on Savoy with Huey Smith on piano (as Earl Johnson), his follow-up on Specialty, where he does his best Guitar Slim imitation (King was Guitar Slim's understudy and performed convincingly as Guitar Slim to unsuspecting audiences when Slim was in a car crash and out of commission), also an early version of "Come On" as "Darling Honey Angel Child" and "Those Lonely, Lonely Nights."

Dig it and have a good weekend...
