The song reached the top position on the Billboard Rhythm & Blues Records chart as well as number 17 on the magazine`s broader Billboard Hot 100.[1] The version peaked at number 30 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] The song was also recorded by Elvis Presley in 1956.

Also in 1956, Bill Haley & His Comets released a version of the song which reached number 25 on the Hot 100,[citation needed] and number four in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
The song, which was recorded at Cosimo Matassa`s J&M Recording Studio in New Orleans,[4] is included as a full-length performance by Earl Palmer with guest vocalist Ivan Neville and house band in the 2005 documentary film Make It Funky!, which presents a history of New Orleans music and its influence on rhythm and blues, rock and roll, funk and jazz.[5][6] Los Lobos recorded the song for the 1987 Ritchie Valens biography film La Bamba. The song hasn`t been officially released on the album but is released on their album El Cancionero Mas y Mas.
