With all due respect to Stevie Ray Vaughan, one of my favorite musicians, this original rocks and rolls just as hard as Stevie's cover #music #HankBallard #StevieRayVaughan #SRV https://youtu.be/7d7Yn2pe1HE

I said a-shake baby shake baby
Shake till the 🍖 rolls off your 🦴🦴
Till your mama & your papa come home
Shake baby shake
I just love your sexy ways
Well upside down & all around
Baby don't be late, let's bop the town
Shake baby shake
I just love your sexy ways
Well grandpa, he's too old to go
He gotta shake it just a little
to the rock 'n roll
So shake baby shake
I just love your sexy ways

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters - Work With Me Annie (1954)

Behoorlijk riskante tekst die erg indruk maakte in die tijd.
Al vrij snel kwam Etta James met antwoordplaat "Roll With Me Henry". Hank Ballard's echte naam was Henry. Om problemen te voorkomen "The Wallflower" getiteld.

Wat volgde was een hele serie platen over Annie en Henry.
