On Clifton Chenier’s birthday
The zydeco song was written and originally recorded by Clifton Chenier. I am not sure when but I am guessing it was in the 1950s. The cover version I know best was by Buckwheat Zydeco from 1987. There are numerous other versions including Marcia Ball (1986) and the Red Stick Ramblers (2007)
