1960
MOTHER-IN-LAW * ERNIE K-DOE * LONDON 9330 * UK
Ernie K-Doe sang with not only The Moonglows but The Flamingos as well [imagine being able to claim that!!] He also recorded with a New Orleans group called the Blue Diamonds who recorded for Savoy, and before joining Minit as a solo act, he record for Herald and Specialty. Mother-In-Law was his third release for Minit and became a massive hit. The record, something of a novelty number, has Benny Spellman singing the bass line, and Alan Toussaint on piano.
