Hallo zusammen, ich habe etwas gefunden.

Twenty-year-old Cale (JJ Cale) had been left as the leader of Bob Taylor's Valentines when Taylor joined the Air Force in fall of 1958. At the time The Valentines were George Metzel on bass, Earl Johnson on sax, Jim Turley on drums and Doug Cunningham on piano. Cale was the group's guitar player. Turley recalled this song, but not "I Hate Myself," the single's other side. Both songs were written by Sweatt, who's seen the band perform at the Casa-Del Club in Tulsa and asked if they'd back him on a session. Cale recalled it being a two-hour session and that Sweatt paid each of the five guys $10. The masters of both songs were also released on a Goldwater Records single credited to Rocky and the Rocky Fellows. Rocky insisted he was pianist on the songs, which may be true with that single release credited to him. Rocky was Cale's best friend, Rocky Curtiss, who became Cale's touring keyboard player for years.
