I almost always check at least two sources when I attribute songs, but this time I didn’t, and clearly should have.

I have gone back to do a more thorough search and found the whole story just as you describe. I will write out 500 times, “I will not rush through research. I will not rush through research.

Seriously, thank you.

I could hardly be a bigger fan of Elmore James, but gee, Tampa Red had recorded the song at least twice, and probably performed it thousands of times, before Elmore James recorded anything. Elmore James essentially took over Tampa Red’s band after Tampa Red went on a binge after his wife’s death in 1953.
