Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One

ORIGINATION From Route 66 To The Flamingo (v/a)
LAST LISTENED TO yesterday
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT good, rising
RATING

A little bit of rhythm 'n' blues is always welcome 'round these parts of a morning. This one, like Professor Longhair's of a days past, is pretty simple - just piano, drums and a pile of vocals. Harris takes the main vocal with a relaxed tenor and plenty of assured humming. He's backed by at least a trio od doo-woppers who hum and bum along for the whole track.

It makes for a delightful track that happily straddles the ground between rhythm 'n' blues and doo wop.
