Here's a very nice copy of this classic 1959 single, which was originally recorded by Little Willie Littlefield back in 1952, when Leiber & Stoller wrote it. At that time, for some reason, it was released as "K.C. Lovin'." This signature hit for Wilbert Harrison is remarkable not only for its amazing groove, but for that killer electric guitar interlude, which is precisely the kind of sound young white guys from the U.K. and America were soon to begin emulating. Their emulations were the foundation for genres like Garage Rock, Psychedelic Rock, and Hard Rock by the likes of the Yardbirds, Cream, the Standells, and Paul Revere & the Raiders (to name a pitiful few). Note: This copy has Near Mint labels. The vinyl grades Near Mint as well, with just a few light scuffs. The audio, however, grades a strong EX, with undistorted and strong audio but light surface noise in the background.
