1953

PLAY GIRL * SMILEY LEWIS * IMPERIAL 5234 * USA

Both sides of this record are 22 caret gold hard driving New Orleans style R&B. It was this side, written by Dave Bartholomew - who wrote many of Smiley Lewis songs - that not only was a hit in New Orleans but sold big in northern states which helped establish Smiley Lewis outside of New Orleans and California.
