It was originally released on his album The Fabulous Little Richard, and released by Specialty Records as a B-side single to "She Knows How to Rock" in November 1958.[1] The song derives from "Wee Baby Blues" by Big Joe Turner.[2] Turner's version features Ray Charles on piano, and was released as a single on Atlantic Records in 1957.[3]
