This shuffle groove bounces harder than any other I know. I just love the way the horns and the rhythm section work together on this one. One of the more commercially successful cuts of this song came in 1952 when jazz artist Jimmy Forrest took the song to #1 on the R&B charts. That version is also famous from a movie you might know, part of which is set in the fifties.
In Back to the Future it is one of the songs Marvin Berry and the Starlighters play at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance before Marty plays "Johnny B. Goode". It's actually the fist song we hear them play as George waits for his moment to go play the hero. A clip of that version of the song is below. It's the Forrest recording over some clips from BTTF II.
