Dizzy, Miss Lizzy - Larry Williams

Dizzy, Miss Lizzy - Larry Williams
2:12
single, 1958
Written by Larry Williams

It's Larry Williams week!

The Beatles covered this track, but they removed the comma, which is present in the original single.  Larry gives this one a more subdued vocal than on a lot of other hits (except a couple of roaring "woo's" like the one before the guitar solo), so if you've only heard the Beatles' screaming version this can seem like a letdown.  But it's a great song on its own, minus any comparisons, and a fine companion to Little Richard's more flamboyant "Good Golly Miss Molly."
