Above: Label image for Columbia 30168 recorded on June 8, 1949. Evelyn Twine, who was Rudy Massingale's sister-in-law, became a full-time member of The Five Scamps in 1952. If you listen carefully, you'll hear Evelyn's surname mentioned in this song. The flip side, "Good Lover Blues," has neither Evelyn nor vocal group backing.
