I Hear You Knocking (No.6)
Back To 1955Choose A Different YearNext Video
Quite a few versions of "I Hear You Knocking" have been recorded & released over the years, but the original version was made by Smiley Lewis
It peaked at No.2 on the American Billboard R&B singles chart in 1955.
Smiley Lewis hit on a formula for slow rocking numbers like this track and "The Bells Are Ringing" only to have the now legendary Fats Domino come up behind him with similar music more ingratiatingly delivered.
