Artist: Otis Rush
Author: Willie Dixon
Label: Cobra
Year: 1956

His first single, the first Cobra release (and their biggest hit - n°6 R&B) with composer Willie Dixon on bass. Working title: I Gotta Put You Down Baby. Rush's late '65 version on Vanguard comp Chicago! The Blues! Today! was surely more influential. All covers are younger.
