    Best record I have discovered in quite a while. I had the flip side
    which is a 7, but this side is better, a solid 8 I'd say. Found it when
    I was working on the next edition of Cash Box Reviews, 1958.

    I have these EXACTLY the other way around in my 1958 list

    "Crazy Crazy Loving" as a low 8

    "MIssissippi Steamboat" as a high 7

    First time in a long time that a new item has entered one of my yearly favorites list in the Top 100 in one of these prime 1950s years.
    "Mississippi Steamboat" enters my 1958 list at #75. A high 8.

    Can anybody think of another record with a break like this?

    The guitar plays a line and then the sax plays the same line each time,
    all the way through the break. Fenton's singing is similar to BB King at
    his best in the early to mid-50s.
