1:51
single, 1952
Written by Lloyd Price
I didn't think all that much of Price's "Where You At?", but this song, which features Fats Domino on piano, is an R&B classic that popularized the New Orleans sound and helped shape rock and roll. It was hugely influential. Elvis covered it a few years later; Larry Williams' "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" is said to be a reworking of it. Price's vocals are impassioned, and Domino's rolling piano lines give it a solid groove. Legendary drummer Earl Palmer provides the backbone, and there's a smooth sax solo at the midpoint.
