Larry Williams - Slow Down download song

William's version is only 1000 times better than The Beatles version!!!!

Damn those people can dance !!!!

Must had been fun for Earl Palmer the drummer to drum this tune Rip Larry and Earl.

A b side too! Dizzy Miss Lizzy was the A side hit

Typical Hollywood nonsense. These jitterbugging professional dancers, who appear to be in their thirties, have nothing to do with rock n roll. Larry is great though.

I share the same name but, Damn this fellow was an unsung hero. I,m afraid my knowledge of this influential artist was severely lacking. Thank God my eyes are open.

This song is great! No wonder the Beatles covered it.

The best version bar none

Real, real Cool! The dancers are a bunch of pros. The clips are from 50's R&Roll movies like "Don't Knock The Rock." You can tell because Bill Hayley's Comets are pictured in one scene.Larry Williams!!!

WHY IS LARRY NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.....HE WAS SPECIAL

Great record production- one of the best for any song in the 1950s. The beat is so solid you can dance on it.

Rock the hell out! They don't dance this way anymore. I love old Larry!

Yeah, the Beatles sure thought he was special, and so do I. But I'd never even heard of him 'til I heard them do "Slow Down" when I was 13, their version of which I instantly loved, and then looked at the credits on the album.Who was "L. Williams"? I did some research, found out his full name, but it was very hard to get any records by him, or similar regional r&b artists, in NYC in like 1964. If Sam Goody didn't have it, you were screwed. Back then (I know, I hate that preachy phrase too, but it applies here) you probably had to actually be in Memphis or New Orleans to buy those 45s or albums. I tellya, them young Brit boys (John, Mick, Eric &c.) eagerly waitin on docks in Liverpool a few years earlier for their ships to come in w/all the latest American local hits that probably didn't sell enough nationally in they US so they shipped 'em over to Britain---they got all the good stuff before we did!

You forget how exciting and raucous early rock'n'roll really was.

Now that's Rock N' Roll the way I remember it!

Now that's a rockin' ass tune.

To me this is the best rock'n roll recording ever.

Up there with all the Rock & Roll great Songs and performers.

real rock n roll

I saw him live at State Theater in Hartford, CT in 1958. He out performed Jerry Lee Lewis that day, although Jerry Lee was spectacular too.
