Many others have tried to capture the raw uncut emotion of Fever but no one matches this original recording by Little Willie John on King Records 1958, although I’ve got to say Peggy Lee gave it a doggone good try and even added her own twist with the additional verses beginning “Romeo loved Juliet,” and “Captain Smith and Pocahontas”. This is the first of many Little Willie John 45’s we have to post so stay tuned my friends.
