The most comprehensive single-disc collection available of Smiley Lewis rocking 1950s output for Imperial.

Why She's Got Me Hook, Line And Sinker, Bumpity Bump, Rootin' And Tootin', and Shame, Shame, Shame weren't hits during rock 'n' roll's primordial age we'll never know.

Dave Bartholomew was Smiley Lewis best source for material, writing most of his most memorable releases, though Smiley Lewis penned a few of his own early on... Read more at: https://www.
