Original Billboard review: "A strong version of the interesting blues tune that's already blossoming with sides by Bill Justis and Ernie Freeman. This can share in the loot but the flip side could be the bigger one for Vaughn." Billboard rating: 80 out of 100.

The other side of this single is "Sail Along Silvery Moon" which charted at #5.

I was 7 years old when I heard Billy Vaughn's music for the first time. It stayed in my memories ever since.

On this day in 1957 {December 8th} the AM radio airwaves must have been flooded with "Raunchy"...For on Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys chart for Dec. 8th, 1957 there were three versions of "Raunchy" in the Top 10, Bill Justis was at #6 with his version, one position lower at #7 was Ernie Freeman's version, and right at #10 was Bill Vaughn's version...In addition, on Billboard's R&B Best-Sellers in Stores chart, Ernie Freeman's "Raunchy" was at #2 while Bill Justis was at #3, and the #1 record was "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke...And on January 5th, 1958 Bill Justis' "Raunchy" replaced Ernie Freeman's version at #1 on Billboard's R&B Most Played by Jockeys chart...

I liked this version the best when it came out. But then I heard Bill Black and liked that one. And then I finally heard Bill Justis and that's the one! It's got this great combination of instrument sounds and a very unusual beat/rhythm structure.Aah, the good old days of instrumentals. They were big back then.

Ez volt az a szám, amivel George Harrison "felvételizett" a majdani Beatlesbe egy emeletes liverpooli városi autóbusz emeletén...

Vaughn's rendition is far far better than Bill Justis'. The thing Justis did sounds rushed, like he couldn't wait to get finished.
