## What 2 lists say

### No. 7 in [Rhythm and Blues](https://waxonia.com/genre/rhythm-and-blues/)

Price singing, Domino on piano, and a record that crossed to white audiences without anybody planning it. The commercial accident the next decade was built on.

### Picked by [Sung to Someone](https://waxonia.com/theme/sung-to-someone/)

Two lines in and he has stopped describing anything: "girl, you sure look good to me." The whole record is aimed at one person standing in front of him, which is why it survives a test that throws out most of what gets called a love song.
