FAT BOY * BILLY STEWART * CHESS 1820 * USA
The B side of Billy Stewart's first on Chess, the song credited to Stewart and Mc Daniel (Bo Diddley), and was written in response to his friend the A&R man at Chess Billy Davis, who asked him to pen something autobiographical on the theme of his nick name: Fat Boy. This take is different from the recording on his I Do Love You album, the album cut, which I prefer slightly more, does not have the little bubbly organ and seems a little more punchy.
