This is a cover by the Belle Stars and there have been different recordings that have been made of this song.
The track that was recorded by The Belle Stars was used on Rainman soundtrack which is entitled Iko Iko. However the original song was recorded by James Sugar Boy Crawford way back in 1954. Crawford is actually from New Orleans and was one of the original rnb artists of his time.
Rnb from those early days was incredibly influential which has had a noticeable influence in a lot of the popular songs we hear today whether we download them to our iPods or iPads or to our mp3 players or even to our laptops.
The movement then really took off with artists such as Little Richard and the generation that he belonged to in the 50s including Jerry Lee Lewis. Tom Jones was a massive fan of Jerry Lee Lewis and there are some influences in his early songs. Rap and rnb really took off in the early 80s, and was also heavily influenced by the earlier forms of RnB. Arguably one of the greatest artists of all time was Michael Jackson who had a string of hits in the late 80s from Thriller to Bad and Beat It.
The production by renowned producer Quincy Jones was simply mesmerising and produced a wave of influences that can be discerned in a lot of songs featuring current artists such as Justin Timberlake, Usher and Jay-Z. These artists took their inspiration from Michael Jackson and the variety of sounds he employed in his songs, when Jackson was alive he performed a few concerts with Justin Timberlake where he sang some of his famous hits including Rock With You and Billie Jean.
