Lonnie Mack - I’ll keep you happy

Song credits are (Hank Ballard). Hank had his self written version of the soul ballad out in 1959. Lonnie provided guitar support to Hank (and others) in the very early ’60’s so this is undoubtedly where he picked up the number. The song is present on the album, “Lonnie Mack: The Wham of that Memphis Man“ on the Fraternity label which was released in the US in 1964; in the UK it was released on the President label in 1967. In the UK the album contained 11 tracks, a mix of vocals and instrumentals. Ace Records (UK) put the selection in CD format out in 1995 with the track total increased to 24. Apart from Lonnie himself the band members who are pictured on the reverse sleeve of “The Wham of that Memphis Man“ are Marv Lieberman (sax), Ron Grayson (drums), Wayne Bullock (bass), Truman Fields (keyboards) and Irv Russotto (sax).
