It's not often that a song takes on a second life; in the case of "All Around The World", it was re-written as "Grits Ain't Groceries" and became a huge hit for Little Milton in 1969.
"All Around The World" is also the debut release from the great Little Willie John which began a run of jaw droppingly brilliant records with some of the greatest male vocals ever cut onto wax.
from 1955...
LITTLE WILLIE JOHN - ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Little Willie John is one of my all time favorite artists. It's great to have this recording from the original 45. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA great version of this much covered song (aka Grits Ain't Groceries). Little Milton's still remains my fave. W.
