LITTLE WILLIE JOHN - ALL AROUND THE WORLD


It's not often that a song takes on a second life; in the case of "All Around The World", it was re-written as "Grits Ain't Groceries" and became a huge hit for Little Milton in 1969.

"All Around The World" is also the debut release from the great Little Willie John which began a run of jaw droppingly brilliant records with some of the greatest male vocals ever cut onto wax.

from 1955...

A great version of this much covered song (aka Grits Ain't Groceries). Little Milton's still remains my fave. W.
