Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee - Stick McGhee [[1947)
Recorded first in 1947 on Harlem Records, which folded soon after the record's release, it was re-recorded by McGhee in 1949 for Atlantic Records. It was Atlantic's first hit, selling 400,000 copies and reaching #2 on the Billboard R&B chart. McGhee earned only the $10 he was paid for the recording session.

This was Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm, though it was credited as above; Brenston was Turner's saxophonist and sang the lead vocal on the song. Was a #1 hit on the Billboard R&B chart.
