@richcallaghan yes ! and as @shitsterbauer says he was/is a stone cold rock and roll & soul genius…he had the 'rocking pneumonia','boogie boogie flu pts 1&2', 'high blood pressure'…and probably a lot of other ailments and is still kicking.
@Clash_Presley I didn't know this until last night, but they wiped HS's vocal off it (finally released years later, and available on YouTube) and got Frankie Ford to sing it instead.
Thanks for the link, I'll check that out.
