1967

I'M SHORTY * TOMMY TUCKER * CHECKER 1178 * USA

Tommy Tucker's fifth, and pen ultimate single release on Checker or any other label, is something of a follow on from his Long Tall Shorty only this time with out the ironic prefix's, and a little more in the down and dirty R&B style once so representative of Checker recordings. He left the music business after his Checker recordings and, apart from some collaborations with others as The Tommy Tucker Neo-Blues Ensemble (unreleased) and some duets with Bo Diddley, he never recorded again until his untimely death in 1982.
