"I Hear You Knocking" is a classic rhythm and blues song written by Dave Bartholomew and Earl King, and first recorded by Smiley Lewis in 1955. A clear example of the reigning New Orleans R&B sound of the 1950s, "I Hear You Knocking" tells the tale of a wrongful lover who decides to come back but is finally rebuffed by the song's protagonist. Its contagious beat and profound lyrics garnered a lot of attention and respect within the music community, spawning cover versions by pop singers Gale Storm and Jill Day. Of the various versions and covers of this iconic track, one that stands out is by the legendary American pianist, Fats Domino. In 1961, he included "I Hear You Knocking" on his LP I Miss You So, adding a fresh layer of soulfulness and enriching the original's depth with his signature piano style and warm vocals. Fat Domino's rendition of "I Hear You Knocking" reached number 67 on the US Hot 100 and rapidly became one of the most beloved songs in his repertoire.
