Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean-Ruth Brown

[Gotsoul]

One good dancing, foot stompin good time rock n roll songs ever, and Miss Ruth lays down those lyrics just right, you can feel the heartbreak and love.

[Cover-up]

Think she recorded two versions of this. One on Atlantic and, err, another less raw sounding take. I'll never make a top collector, head like a sieve...

You may be right, thanks good info.

I bought that record, new, on 78 RPM, for 49¢, in 1954.  

That was before the vast majority of posters on here were even gleams in their parents' eyes.  

That was when 49¢ could get you 10 giant chocolate bars, or an early-bird dinner in a sitdown restaurant, or a shave in a barbershop, or 10 telephone calls in a phone booth, or 5 daily newspapers, or 50 hockey cards (along with 10 horrible pink sticks of bland-tasting chewing gum dusted with powdered sugar).
