Re: Re: Re: Re: "Sugar Bee"

THE CLEVELAND CROCHET AND SHORTY LEBLANC, JAY STUTES SOUND is so classic. there is a great LP called "Cleveland Crochet and the Sugar Bees" on Goldband that I got back in the 80's. Eddie Shuler had the musicians sign over to him all royalties, which was a common yetpretty shameful practice. Nevertheless, if he hadn't produced those records so many of those classic sounds would never have been preserved. That LP has other fine rockin' blues tunes: Midnight Blues, Telephone Port Arthur, Hound Dog baby, Sweet Thing, Kaw-Liga and Good Morning Blues. The other tunes are waltzes and, oddly, there are no two steps.
Suzie Thompson did a fine cover of Sugar Bee on the California cajun Orchestra cd.

Re: "Sugar Bee"

I heard it somewhere by Jo-el Sonnier, can't remember where.

Re: Re: "Sugar Bee"

Jimmy C. Newman also recorded a copy.

Re: Re: Re: "Sugar Bee"

Of course, Elvis Fontenot and the Sugar Bees recorded it - on our first CD.
