To have one true classic on a single is great; to have such songs on both sides of a single is quite exceptional. Here's one such single. Like most of Penniman's New Orleans material, these tracks are spot on; this is rock 'n' roll.
Both sides have been covered by too many artists to mention.
The same session also included songs "Hey Hey Hey Hey" and "I Got It"
List price: Very Good+ is $20, Near Mint is $40
