It's my duty, everytime this song is mentioned, to remind everyone it was written by Gus Cannon. He had to fight for recognition but did live long enough to see his song become a number 1 hit.

Stax just released a CD called "Walk Right In" with songs and narration recorded by Gus Cannon in 1963 when he was in his 80's. Will Shade of the Memphis Jug Band plays jug. It's a nice piece of history.
