Hello Josephine - Shakin' Stevens - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Hello Josephine," also known as "My Girl Josephine," is an early rhythm and blues track by Fats Domino, co-written with Dave Bartholomew. Released in 1960 as part of the album ...A Lot of Dominos!, it showcases the pianist's signature rock and roll style. The single achieved considerable success, reaching number 7 on the Billboard R&B charts and number 14 on the pop charts. The song's length is a brief yet impactful 2 minutes, and its B-side was "Natural Born Lover." Musically, "Hello Josephine" is characterized by its catchy rhythm and upbeat tempo, highlighting Fats Domino's iconic vocal delivery. Its lyrics narrate the tale of a man yearning for his lost love, Josephine, reflecting the pain and sorrow of their separation. Many decades later, Welsh singer-songwriter Michael Barratt, better known as Shakin' Stevens, delivered a high-octane rock and roll version of "Hello Josephine" on his 1988 LP, A Whole Lotta Shaky.
