Little Walter (Marion Walter Jacobs) recorded it (1955) and had the classic hit version on Chess Records. Currently available on MCA/Chess 50th Anniversary edition "Little Walter, His Best". Recommended. Willie Dixon is probably the greatest songwriter in the history of the blues. |

Great song, either way. The DT entry to which Pene Azul provided a link (above) shows that Fred McDowell got a publishing company writing credit, just like Wille Dixon did -- maybe both of them took credit for their "arrangements " of a traditional piece. |
