Imperial 5585, 1959
Piano Oriented Rock - whatever happened to that. So many fifties rockers pounded the keys, then it seems like that all stopped with the British Invasion.
For years I only knew this tune from The Band's cover off Moondog Matinee, until I found this 45 at a yard sale. Obviously they didn't do it justice. I love the abrupt change back to the root at the end of the "Talkin' on the phone..." part - a neat little detail The Band didn't bother with. Lazy fuckers.
