    Wynonie Harris song???

    Based on one of tonight's American Idol performances, can someone please post a clip [[if available) of Wynonie Harris doing a song entitled "Lovin' Machine?" The kid on the show knocked it out of the park and I want to see what the original sounds like. I had never heard it before. Thanks.

    Here's "Lovin' Machine" by Wynonie Harris:

    He only used about 3 different tunes. This is one of his "Good Rockin' Tonight" clones. I have about 50 times as many King/Queen/Federal/DeLuxe/Bethlehem records as all my Motown and subsidiaries records, and almost all of them are from 1940-1959.

    Thanks Robb. I did not really know Wynonie or his story and timeline. I am a little surprised to learn that he goes back that far. For that reason this original doesn't appeal as much as I had hoped, since recording and accompaniment techniques were a little primitive back then. But at least the AI contestant made a good song choice and as I said, he really worked it.
