The Stanley Brothers - Finger Poppin' Time / It's Raining Here This Morning
(King S-7 1615) c1961
This is one of five 7" 33⅓ stereo singles that were taken from the Stanley Brothers' In Person LP.
The singles were created for juke box use[1] and issued together with juke-box strips and a reproduction of the In Person sleeve. Most copies I've seen have been offered for sale as individual discs, but recently a complete set went on ebay for $125.
Finger Poppin' Time is the overdubbed version. George Shuffler later recalled that:- "we had every colored person in Cinninnati a poppin' his fingers. They's about ten. Little Gene Rudd and they even called Roy, our good buddy (that was) a shipping clerk up there, he was colored. They's about eight or ten in there poppin' our fingers on that. We was a pickin' and they was poppin' their fingers. We done it up right". Asked about whether the Stanley's objected to the Hank Ballard song, George replied: "Naw, they didn't care. Old man Syd (Nathan) thought it'd sell records and that's what we was up there for."[2]
Both sides of the single can now be found on the The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 4xCD set.
For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, 100-105, 111-114, 142-144 and 150.
