Description
AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC DOO-WOP/R&B 78 FROM THE CUES ON THE UK CAPITOL LABEL
Of all the talented vocal groups populating the mid-1950s New York R&B scene, perhaps none were on as many recordings as the Cues – even if few outside the industry knew about it. The versatile vocal quintet provided background harmonies for Ruth Brown, LaVern Baker, Ivory Joe Hunter, and Big Joe Turner.
The Cues cut this classic - "Burn That Candle" (Kirk wrote it under his nom de plume Winfield Scott), but as was so often the case their R&B original was covered by a pop group, Bill Haley & His Comets.
This is the original - and in my opinion still the best despite the fact that in the UK it didn't make it into the charts at all - making it very hard to find!
BURN THAT CANDLE
Keep that candle burnin' birght, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shinin' on the one I love, mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light my way
Keep that doorway open wide
Till I'm strollin' thru that doorway with my bride
While that candle's burnin' high, mother
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
We'll be comin home you know, mother
Lookin for that candle glow, mother
After we have had the wedding, mother
To the candle we'll be headin, mother
So, before we're winin', dinin', mother
Start that candle light a shinin', mother
