{"title":"Sticks McGhee and His Buddies","description":"\u003cp\u003eSticks McGhee and His Buddies were an influential American rhythm and blues band active during the late 1940s and 1950s, led by vocalist and guitarist Granville \"Sticks\" McGhee. They are best known for their hit \"Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee,\" which was a significant contribution to the development of rock and roll. The band's sound was characterized by McGhee's distinctive, raw vocal style and his energetic guitar playing, both of which were influential in shaping the blues genre. Despite their relatively short existence, Sticks McGhee and His Buddies left a lasting imprint on American music history.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"drinkin-wine-spo-dee-o-dee-blues-mixture-id-rather-drink-muddy-water","title":"Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee\/ Blues Mixture (I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water)","description":"Originally released on 78 rpm with the same catalog number. This 1971 reissue is the first time this classic recording was released on 45 rpm. Wynonie Harris, who was a huge R\u0026amp;B star at the time, released a cover version a month or so after McGhee's. Harris' version also went Top 10 on the \"race\" chart, but it still wasn't as big a hit as the original, which was also a Top 40 pop hit!","brand":"Sticks McGhee and His Buddies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48515006497001,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/sticksmcghee1.jpg?v=1752194345"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.classic45s.com\/collections\/sticks-mcghee-and-his-buddies\/10-25.oembed","provider":"Classic 45's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
