Blues became more widely popular in the 60’s with the British Invasion, when groups like the Rolling Stones and artists like Eric Clapton shared their appreciation of blues music. This boosted also King’s success. This single came out in the very early days of the British Invasion (the Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand” had just reached US #1 in January 1964), so this didn’t get any boost from it.
