Wilbert Harrison "Kansas City" (Relic 7035)

Finally, pay dirt! Wilbert Harrison smashed the charts in 1959 with his massive hit "Kansas City" for Bobby Robinson's Fury logo…...Here we have 22 fine sides from the Fury hookup, some in stereo and many with Wild Jimmy Spruill on lead guitar. "Cheatin' Baby," "C.C. Rider," "1960," and the inevitable sequel "Goodbye Kansas City" are prime examples of Harrison's slightly off-kilter approach to his craft, while his infectious "Let's Stick Together" developed into the more worldly "Let's Work Together" toward the end of the decade.(Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

In the late 60s I saw him on some TV variety show singing Kansas City. I do believe that was the only time I ever saw him on the boob tube.

Thank you!

If it had "Let's Work Together," it would be perfect.
