Rocking Pneumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu Part 1
Huey ‘Piano’ Smith and The Clowns (1957) Rocking Pneumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu Part 1 earned a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll; the flip side of the Ace Records 45rpm, RP & the BWF Part 2, did not.
In 1944 at the age of 15, Huey Smith began working in clubs around New Orleans and recording with partner Eddie Jones (later known as Guitar Slim). By 1955 he was a session musician, playing piano for Little Richard, Lloyd Price, Earl King and others. Smith’s mix of boogie woogie, blues and jazz piano styles became the sound of New Orleans.
