  • German TV gig late 1980's I think.
    This shows his band stretching out on this R and B classic - Frank Wilson is the drummer; anyone know who the tenor sax and the guitarist are?

    This is definitely the great Herman Riley on sax. He was Jimmy's horn player of choice for the last two decades of his life. They were like brothers, and Herman passed not long after Jimmy did. Herman was one of the humblest, kindest men I've ever known. Terry Evans, also featured here, was the only guitarist Jimmy trusted with the iconic Billy Butler guitar phrasing. This band recorded the song as a tribute to Bill Doggett on the CD "Prime Time" not long after the R&B organist's death.

It was my father's Sunday gosbel.But, I give it to Jimmy Smith with his crew. I subsequently heard Jimmy Smith version late in 70's or early in the 80's I was attached. If I listened to it I just go back in time in my youthful days. And, I say "akukho sigxhobo saguga namaxholo also." Great music is shall will always be timeless.

Y'all talk about Frank, Herman and Terry - all fabulous to be sure - but surely Jimmy himself should get some big atta-boys for not getting in the way of his stellar back-up band, while providing metered and consistent back up to their genius. says so much about him as a person, not trying to grab the glory just because it is his band. love it!!!

      @ Damon Van Buren: "Honky Tonk" is just one of those classic tunes you simply have to know if you play blues, jazz or roots music. Great blues acts have been using it as a kick-off for shows for years. Almost forty years ago, I remember seeing the late great Albert Collins and his band, The Icebreakers, near Chicago at Fitzgeralds in Berwyn, IL. The band would come out first and play a lengthy version of the tune, usually with Albert's tenor man, A.C. Reed, on the sax, and whoever his rhythm guitarist was, playing the Billy Butler part. Everyone got good and warm and ready for Albert to make his entrance, and that was how the "Iceman" used to start off.

      "Amplified noise," that's what the generation before Doggett's said about Doggett and on and on to back where it all began.

    Thank you, Mick Martin, for your synopsis of the sax "man," Herman Riley. Interesting about Terry Evans, too. I love Jimmy Smith's music. So "with it," so fine tuned to instill this very moving and wonderful music down into my Soul! I just discovered Jimmy in the last couple of years. I just love him and his music!

    This number was released in 1956 by Bill Doggett. My Father bought it for me as soon as it came out; it was one of my first 45's. As a 7 year old, I distinctly remember the song totally blowing my mind and I've been a jazz aficionado ever since! Thank you for posting this rendition!

    This beat started a Dance Craze in Houston and Dallas in 1958. Every body started dancing to the half-beat to this song turning jitterbug into a new dance called the Whip in Houston, and the Push in Dallas, There was an annual Dance Contest between the Cities as to who had the best Dancers. It happens still to this day. Not from those cities but from all over the South. I went to a Contest in Bossier City at the Horseshoe Casino in 2004. The Next was in Houston in 2005. Lost Contact Since Then.
