"SHUFFLIN' HUNGARIANS" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 11 | TWILIGHTZONE

 "SHUFFLIN' HUNGARIANS" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 11

Cool R&B with a mambo twist!
Now someone knows their Fess! What a rare treat from the collection  of Johnny Q and posted by Gyro1966 over at THE TWILIGHTZONE. Professor Longhair, of whom we have spoken often, had an early incarnation of Nawleans equivalent Tin Pan Alley as 'Prof Longhair and The Shuffling Hungarians' and the connections here are superlative and really well researched and put together by the boys. Enjoy! (I did!) [now to collect all the other previous volumes!]

Compiled by Johnny Q from his music collection - originally served by Gyro1966
Professor Longhair And His Shuffling Hungarians - Mardi Gras In New Orleans 1949

it was the case as we learned from Dr John (Mac Rebbenack) that Fess would release this single every year for Nawleans Mardi Gras but this was the realist I could find





Professor Longhair And His Shuffling Hungarians - She Ain’t Got No Hair 1949

a visitor to the YouTube page noted: "This is the original recorded as by Professor Longhair on the Star Talent label in 1949. He-recorded it as "Bald Head" by "Roy Byrd" at a faster tempo for Mercury and it became his biggest R&B hit in 1950."
