Lawdy Miss Clawdy. The Swinging Blue Jeans

“Lawdy Miss Clawdy“ is a song by Lloyd Price. It was first recorded by Price at the New Orleans recording studio of Specialty Records in March 1952. It was released under the Specialty label in April and was number one on the Billboard rhythm and blues chart for seven weeks and stayed on the chart for six months. An 8-bar blues with a rollicking piano backup, with the words written by Price, but the melody adapted from the older Junker Blues (Champion Jack Dupree, 1941), it became the biggest rhythm and blues hit of the year and sold over one million copies by crossing over to the white record-buying market. It was the first hit from New Orleans to be accepted into rock and roll. The word “lawdy“ means Lord. Blue Jeans a’Swinging is the second studio album by British Merseybeat band Swinging Blue Jeans, released in November 1964 on HMV.
