*Kenner recorded the original version but it didn't too much; it stalled at #77 in the Billboard Top100. But Kenner still liked the song and was determined to take it a little further. So, he approached Fats, hoping to persuade him to record it. That ought to get the song some attention. Domino agreed, with the proviso that he receive half the publishing rights and be listed as co-writer of the song. Kenner accepted the deal. Unfortunately, Domino was nearing the end of an incredible stretch of recording popular songs so it didn't bring Kenner too much (money). Still, an unusual recording for Fats. It should have been a hit!
