The song is one of my favourite two chord songs ever written. It’s a lot harder to write one than you may think. Huey Smith wrote the song and originally recorded it. This version is based on the popular Johnny Rivers version which featured the talented Larry Knetchel on Piano.

This was a favorite of my father who passed a few years ago. He wasn't much of a musician and I'm grateful for him bringing me up on rock and roll. This Johnny Rivers version is something I wanted to be able to learn and play for him while he was still here. Your tutorial has inspired me to learn it now even though he's gone. Thanks for your approachable teaching technique.

That is a wonderful sentiment and I’m really sorry your father isn’t here to hear you. I hope you enjoy leaning the piece and the beautiful memories it brings back 🤠

Always wanted to play this (opening riff especially) so I did a search and PRESTO! here you are. Thank you much.

Leon Russell was the original pianist on River's take of this one by Huey "Piano" Smith.
