Go Gillis



 



Go Gillis

Recorded by Dale Hawkins, words and music by Dale Hawkins and Henri Loridans.  

Dale Hawkins of "Susie Q" fame did this campaign song as a favor for senator of Louisiana Gillis W. Long  when he ran for governor of Louisiana back in 1963. Only 500 red label 45s were pressed and the record has the same song on both sides.

One of the rarest Dale Hawkins 45.

Acknowledgements : George Long, son of Gillis Long, with thanks
