      Honky Tonk Parts 1 & 2 - 70 Years Old This Year

      By Big Beat Steve · Posted

      OTOH, "Honky Tonk" figured as such (either without singling out one part or by naming both parts simultaneously) in the chart listings wherever you looked. (Billboard, Cash Box etc.) So apparently the tune was treated as one entity.  Two random examples: The below excerpts from Billboard of 22 September 1956 and Cash Box of 1 Sept. 1956. Whereas it was "Topsy Part 2" that was the hit. I don't know if Part 2 was pushed intentionally, but maybe the more organ-heavy Part 2 was considered to have more hit potential in 1958 than the horn-led Part 1.  Your explanation that guitarists went much more for side 2 of "Honky Tonk" and the guitar solo does sound plausible, anyway.

      Honky Tonk Parts 1 & 2 - 70 Years Old This Year

      By Dan Gould · Posted

      Glad you enjoyed it. Although it doesn't go directly to airplay, Schaap often noted that if  you found an original 45/78 that side 2 would be more worn than side 1 was.  I thought that guitarists wanting to play gigs for a garage band needed to memorize Billy Butler's solo. Maybe there were more saxophonists studying Clifford Scott.

      Ike Willis RIP

      By Rabshakeh · Posted

      Maybe a slightly niche one on this forum, but soul singer and long time vocalist for Frank Zappa, Ike Willis, apparently passed away on 16 May from prostate cancer. His voice was a huge part of my teenage years.

      Honky Tonk Parts 1 & 2 - 70 Years Old This Year

      By medjuck · Posted

      Great story.  I remember when Honky Tonk was on the hit parade.  IIRC (and I often don't) Part 2 got more air play than part 1.  (Or am I confusing it with "Topsy pt 2"?) .
