That' some obscure Earl Hooker! A fine instrumentalist.

 

This one's just a jam he recorded in the Chess studio. It got the management's attention and before you know it they had Muddy Waters singing it as "You Shook Me":

 

 

As for Hucklebuck, 

 

 

"With some melodic similarity to Charlie Parker’s “Now’s The Time” (1945) and virtually the same tune as Lucky Millinder's release of "D'Natural Blues" (recorded only weeks after this Williams version), “The Huckle-Buck” became a #1 R&B instrumental recording for the Paul Williams band and spawned various cover versions, most successfully by the Tommy Dorsey band."

 

Who knew? Not me. 🐮

 

(btw, cultural appropriation is not bullshit, it's just complicated sometimes, messy, divisive, and a perfectly good topic for any forum that has music as one of its main foci. So thankyou for your posts on that before it was censored, and I regret not fully appreciating them at the time. "All in the past. Move on, Move on!" 🙄)

 

You are the most astute and discerning Forum member of all ... at any place ... and of any time.
