"The Honeydripper"Cab Calloway
Originally recorded 1946
Featured on Cab Calloway: The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection
Rhythm & Blues
CD (this version obviously, originally vinyl)
B
A rockin' cover of the big R & B hit of 1945 (by Joe Liggins), showing that middle age wasn't going to ruin Cab's stride. "You dig that lick/ You dig that beat/ You get knocked out/ Right off your feet." Not quite, but I more than ever stand by the "Grandfather of Rock & Roll" title I awarded on my "Minnie" post.
