Little Richard's Keep a Knocking

The Jordan record was probably brought to mind in 1955, when Smiley Lewis had a hit with Dave Bartholomew's take on the idea. The lyrics are so obviously inspired by the earlier song that it would have brought it to mind for anyone who had heard any of the earlier versions. That was also recorded by Fat Stominow, one of Little Richard's favourite musicians, so we can be sure that Richard had heard it.
