Louisiana native and Cajun singer Joe Barry cut this record, a national hit, which was one of the earliest examples of what was later called "swamp pop"; a gumbo-like concoction mixing rock n roll, rhythm n blues and cajun styles.
Producer Huey P Meaux cut this record (he went on to produce hundreds of amazing records with the likes of Barbara Lynn and Sir Douglas Quintet among many others). Too bad he's a truly deplorable human being who will spend the rest of his life in jail.
This is one of those songs that just screams "hit" no matter what era it would have been recorded in.
from 1961...

Huey Meaux has dealt in child pornography and statutory rape. He first did time in the late 60's.
