DESCRIPTION:
Recorded by the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis in 1957, but unfortunately never issued by them at the time. There was some damage to the tape, and they didn't want to issue an incomplete track. Such a shame, since this is a VERY commercial tune that should have been a big hit.
This original was not discovered until 1988, when Jerry Osborne unearthed it at Sun and included in on his "Rockin' Records, Volume 2" LP (Sun 1033).
What a great rockabilly title it has!
Yes, this is the same Gene Simmons who had the big hit in 1967, "Haunted House." No, it's not the same guy as the one from KISS.
