Look up Williams's friendship with another 1950s rock and roll legend, Johnny Guitar Watson. Their soul/funk collaborations in the 1960s are fantastic.

I’ve always enjoyed watching the end trail of the 78’s, and this one is kind of unique. Also, the nice Specialty label on this pressing is perfectly centered ❤️
