Song penned by W.C. "Red" Wortham. The other side has been posted HERE
A former jazz guitar player from the 1930s, bandleader and songwriter in the late 40s, Red Wortham married country singer Tabby West and migrated into production and music publishing. Mr. Wortham is
perhaps best known for his association with label Bullet Records
and with Johnnie Bragg and the Prisonaires, who had a hit in the 1950s
called "Just Walkin' in the Rain."
Bullet Records and Sur-Speed Records imprints were just two of the independent "custom labels" that Wortham established in Nashville (others included the Avenue, Silver City, Slam, Viking, and Gold
Mine labels).
He passed away December 31. 2002 in Bon Aqua. TN..
