Billboard-charted track, not elsewhere on YouTube as of this posting. That's Influential blues guitarist T-Bone Walker featured on a short solo. Most LP and CD reissues of this popular Slack-track have been (IMO) sadly damaged by the unnecessary addition of heavy retro-reverb. Here is the clean original-release version, recorded during the 7/42 flurry of pre-musicians-strike activity and eventually released in 1943.

Transferred from the original 78rpm: Capitol 129 - Riffette (Jones) by Freddie Slack & his Orchestra, recorded July 20, 1942
