The Dells -Zing Zing Zing - 1955

Lefty Bates
1950s1955youtube

Flip side to "Dreams Of Contentment". I love the guitar in this song. I mean this song rocks!!!! The late "Lefty Bates" on guitar. Vee-Jay's house band guitarist in the mid 50''s. This is real old school R&B. I think Vee-Jay records put some serious stuff out. To bad a lot of people slept on most of that good music. My tribute to Vee-Jay records.
