1961
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT * CHRIS KENNER * INSTANT 3229 * USA
The first release (despite the odd number) on Joe Banashack's New Orleans based Instant label. Singer song-writer Chris Kenner was born, appropriately it seems, in Kenner, Louisiana, in 1929, and he died at the age of 47 in January 1976. This song belongs, for me, to one of those miss heard lyrics; for years I belived that he was singing the words "Come on let me show you where I sat" when in fact he was singing "Come on let me show you where it's at" ! Issued on the London label in Great Britain I Like It Like That was one of only two records by him that were released in the UK, the other being Land Of A Thousand Dances; while in the States he had records on Baton, Hep' Me, Imperial, Pontchartrain, Ron, Uptown and Valiant.
