What are YOU listening to in 2025 ?

Sometimes I just gotta let my hair down.

Both of them.


Lyrics:
Born a natural loser -- can't recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get

[Chorus]
Go down gamblin', say it when you're runnin' low
Go down gamblin' -- you may never have to go no

[Verse 2]
Down in a crap game, I've been losin' at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I ain't busted yet
Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share
 
I noticed this song while watching the movie Oddity and had to look it up because it has that doo-wop sound that I just love.

I'd never heard of Little Willie John before; I'll have to read more about him. Sounds like he had a short life that ended sadly.

In 1965, he was convicted of manslaughter for the 1964 stabbing of Kendall Roundtree in Seattle.[19] He was sent to Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.[4] John appealed the conviction and was released on probation while the case was reconsidered, during which time he recorded what was intended to be his comeback album.[20] Due to contractual disputes and the decline of his appeal, it was not released until 2008 (as Nineteen Sixty Six).[21]

John died at Washington State Penitentiary on May 26, 1968. Despite counterclaims,[22] the cause of death stated on his death certificate was a heart attack."
