Louis Jordan was one of the first black recording artists whose popularity crossed over into the mainstream white audience and who scored hits on both the "race" charts and the mainstream white pop charts. He is now acknowledged as one of the most successful African-American musicians of the 20th century, ranking fifth in the list of the all-time most successful black recording artists.

Answer song to Are You Lonesome Tonight? first recorded by Charles Hart in 1927 (adapted by Elvis Presley in 1960). Dodie Stevens was 14 when she recorded this.

Here is the original version :

And an hilarious live version in which Elvis changed the lyrics from "do you gaze at your front door and wish I was there" to "do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair"? Then an older gentleman sitting up front took off his wig and started swaying it to the music. It cracked Elvis up (copied from a YouTube comment).
