Freddie Cannon "Tallahassie Lassie"

[@maryomnes9445]

I was just 13 years old when I first heard this song 🎵. It has such a good beat that I just love dancing 💃 to it. I just turned 75 years old and not ashamed of it. I had a great party 🥳 and we all danced to the 50's and 60's music. It was so much fun dancing 💃 to my era. Just loved it ❤.

[@jimh4452]

Just saw him perform this past weekend... Had the entire center up in the aisles and dancing. Was great meeting him...

[@GusMcC]

Had the pleasure of meeting Freddy back in 2004, he was dressed in leather, had given up the dance moves you can see in this vid and gave us a total rock 'n' roll show. Got a selfie with him as well. A proper gentleman and as he was billed then, and still is now, one of the last great rock 'n' rollers. He made / makes some great rock 'n' roll records.

A Rock and Roll Classic from Freddy Cannon called Tallahassie Lassie and it came out in 1959 a great song to listen to from the year 1959

[@Jimsapeck]

Here's a couple of amazing things. This song was based on a poem written by his mother. She called it Rock n Roll Baby. She wrote all the words to the middle part: she's rompin to the drag, the cha cha rag a mop, stompin to the shag, rocks the bunny hop etc. Amazing! It's all in the book he wrote Where the Action Is. This one record made him a star at age 19. And if you check KZbin, the Stones covered it!

One of The best singles of 1959 as it was done Freddie Cannon as it was called Tallahassie Lassie such a great single

[@steviepaulson1753]

My dad Kenny Paulson on lead guitar. These guys were well ahead of their time...

[@AllBobsAllTheTime]

The song was fairly pedestrian but that guitar solo was the sound of things to come !!!

[@Jimsapeck]

Stevie Paulson That's fantastic. I just read Freddy's book where he praises your dad.

[@martinhorne7891]

Met your Dad in 1970. He let me play his Les Paul.

[@rogerauclair1670]

While it is great seeing these iconic singers performing, I would much prefer hear a slightly less polished live version as opposed to miming.

An unknown fact to the public at large...Freddie taught James Brown how to dance.

Do they hand out free chewing gum to the kids as they arrive and enter the show, nearly every body chewing gum like a cow chews on its cud, it's disgusting to watch weren't they taught to chew with there mouths SHUT!!!!!
