Stack-A-Lee
~ Song
Annotation
From the booklet of "Dr. John Gumbo" : "You asked me to do this tune in the piano style of Archibald, who had the great hit on Imperial in 1950. (Editor's Note: Stack-A-Lee (Parts I & II) -Archibald- Imperial 5068). ... I don't think Archibald ever got a dime for this song. "Stagolee", or "Stack-A-Lee" or "Stagger Lee" was in the domain public originally, but Archibald ... took it and made a classic hit."
