Hank Ballard & The Midnighters - Work With Me, Annie download mp3

Work with me Annie, Annie had a baby was banned from our local radio station when I was a kid.(in Calif. no less)   Had know idea what the song was about at the time..just loved the music and still do.  These guys were GREAT..Rock N Roll..nothing like it..

Used to sing this song with the Holidays at the old Tramend Lounge in Cleveland. Followed it up with "Annie had a Baby" and then I was done for the night. Not a good singer, but the crowd enjoyed it.

Buddy Guys book brought me here.

THANKS so much for posting this video of a legend! Sad that only 38k views are here. One of the very few pioneers who started Rock and Roll

Really good live performance

what happened to Doug Clark& the Hot nuts ?

Got my hide tanned for listening to this and its spin off, "Annie had a Baby". I was a little kid and had no idea what all of the fuss was about. Now you know where the term rock and roll came from and what it meant originally.

Love it.  You never heard it on top-40 radio of course -- "gimme all my meat" -- although a version "Dance With Me Henry," some melody, by some lame white chick, did become popular.

I bought the single of this on Federal Records when I was 12 or so, in 1971, and it seemed like an ancient record then (yet it was only 15 years old or so) and I loved it so much that I started buying all the Hank Ballard singles I could find. It was like finding a seven course meal in a world of snack food.

thank you for posting this

his son was in argent

I was only 10 when this song played on the juke box at Maddox Park swimming pool...and the teenagers would dance..dirty to this music...I loved it...and all the other songs that followed this one.  What a great time to be alive..

Hank Ballard & Midnighters...my oh my forever!

Anyone know what year this clip was made? Hank, one of the greatest contributors.
