She Said "Yeah" - Larry Williams

She Said "Yeah" - Larry Williams
1:51
single, 1958
Written by Don Christy and Roddy Jackson

It's Larry Williams week!

I know this song from McCartney's version on his excellent 1999 album Run Devil Run.  It's a declaration of intent about a pretty girl that caught the narrator's eye, as was the rock 'n' roll style of the time.  "Dum deedle dee dum dum / Little girl, where did you come from?"  Great horn sound, an up-tempo rocker very much in the style of Little Richard.  There's a reason both the Stones and the Beatles covered Williams; he knew how to infuse vinyl with the spirit of rhythm and blues.
