Robert Higginbotham, a.k.a. Tommy Tucker was born in Ohio in 1933 and died of poisoning in 1982. Possibly his first appearance on disc was with the Belvaderes in 1955, his debut as Tommy Tucker came in 1958 with Backtrack for the Mark label. The above, his first release on Checker, a highly infectious dance record, was, with its distinctive opening guitar cords, always guaranteed to get the punters on the floor when played in the clubs and dance halls in the mid 1960's.
