Subject: RE: Pop Go The 50's
I have the Ella Mae Morse recording too, pdq. I like it a lot by her (I also have it by Chuck Berry.) But for me, the Chuck Miller recording is tops. Maybe it's because that's the first version I heard, but it's more than nostalgia. When the song winds down at the end and the singer says, "Whoa, slow down man, you in Deetroit now," I am completely hooked.
