Post by SavoyBGNever knew this one until just now when I listed a copy for sale. Let's see what Roger thinks. A cover of one of his big favorites.

Eh?
You posted the Billy Wiilliams cover back in May.
I said this :-
Post by SavoyBGThis Billy Williams cover is indeed pathetic but it was the first
record I ever had of the song
I'd heard Smiley's great original of "Shame Shame Shame" not long
before via an older r&r/r&b fan of my aquaintance (and then by TV
showings of "Baby Doll" the movie in which it features) but I did'nt
have the super rare UK London single of it.
I did however come across the Williams version on UK Coral in some
London junk shop for pennies and was not impressed at all.
It was into the 70's before I finally added Smiley's original 45 to my
collection thanks to my first visit with Val Shively.
I've still yet to hear the 1956 Cougar Johnson record of
"Shame,Shame,Shame" on Vik (I don't even know if its the same song!!)
(Note to Ken Whiton : don't go rushing to 45cat....the # is missing)
