Let The Good Times Roll

Not to be confused with the Louis Jordan standard of the same name, "Let the Good Times Roll" is a rock & roll duet written by Shirley Goodman and Leonard Lee, school friends from New Orleans who tried their luck as a duo in the '50s. This was their third and most popular single, charting at #20 on the pop chart and #1 on the R&B chart. The song has them looking forward to a fun night, with Lee coaxing "let me thrill your soul" and Shirley cooing "feels so good when you're home. Come on baby, rock me all night long."

Shirley Goodman later became the lead singer of Shirley & Company, who had a disco hit in 1974 with "Shame Shame Shame."

Earl Palmer, a seasoned session drummer who played on some of rock & roll's greatest hits ("Tutti Frutti," "La Bamba"), manned the sticks on this.
