This musical genre is far outside my safety zone and I know very little about it, to be honest. Last night on the way home from work I popped into Tesco and bought a triple CD called Rock'n'Roll Party, 60 tracks for three quid. I was playing it just now on the drive into work, looking for songs to cover. This one came up and made the shortlist, I must admit. And there it is when I open my PC.
You've done a great job with it. Great vocal performance, one of your best, I think

Another superb, stripped down performance... I'd give my right arm to be able to sing like that!

Got to say, I nearly jumped outta my union suit when that first vocal note blasted through the speakers! ;D
Anyway, great version of this old classic! Lots of energy, and a truly amazing performance.
Be-bop-a-lula On!

I knew you would knock this one out of the park before clicking on it. Really great vocal phrasing here. Even worked some Elvisisms in here...and a solo!
Nice.
