Thanks y'all.  That is one of the truly GREAT guitar instrumentals of all time.  Such a loss of such great talent.

Danny is my favorite unheard-of guitar player. Not to many people know about this guy and his tragic end, but those who know a good guitar when they hear one can't forget about Danny.

Gave it a 10 before it was even done. Just about anything with a Hammond B3 makes my day!

It's killing me that my sweetie is working tonight. This is such a turn-the-lights-down-low-and-slowdance kind of song... {#Kiss}

What a great song. From the opening notes of stinging wailing guitar, stretching out into the fretboard craziness that is Danny Gatton, then the swirling soothing sounds of the B3, blending into the saxaphone solo and back to that amazing guitar work. Not to mention the solid ever present bass work. What a gem. No where but on RP. Thanks Bill.

Excellent! A proper atmospheric tune with some fine playing to boot. My Dad told me to look out for this chap years ago - I will pay more attention to him next time...

I dunno about "idiot" but something must not be right in your head if you can't appreciate this song (not necessarily this particular cover, but the song itself). :( I really like the Viscounts version sometimes played on this station.
 
Earl Bostic also did an awesome "growling" version.  I'll have to upload it to the LRC.

Fabulous sax!  Sounds like Randy Wheeler — but it can't have been (age discrepancy, y'know . . . . )

Like Danny Gatton .... like Harlem Nocturne .... but his playing of it always feels a bit rushed and choppy to me.  Now the horn part is another matter.  That's some sweet playing.  And really, even "bad" Danny Gatton is still pretty darn good.
