Latest update on 28/11/2023

Artist: Jackie Wilson
Author: Lena Agree
Label: Brunswick
Year: 1960

B-side of Night. Lena Agree was an aunt of Jackie's manager Nat Tarnopol. Credits really should have gone to Alonzo Tucker (ex The Royals), who co-wrote more Jackie Wilson hits (Baby Workout). Tucker sang Doggin' Around years before Jackie first recorded it.

Covers:

1965:

Jean Knight

1973:

Michael Jackson

1983:

Klique [as Stop Doggin' Me Around; the voice of Howard Huntsberry sounds exactly like Jackie Wilson's]

Not to be confused with the jazz standard Doggin' Around, cut in the thirties by Count Basie and in the sixties by Zoot Sims.
