"Slow Down" by Larry Williams

Larry Williams was one of the great pioneers of rock and soul. His songs were covered by the likes of The Beatles, but he also scored a handful of hits himself. His biggest single was "Short Fat Fannie," which soared to #5 in 1957. That same year, "Bony Moronie" and "You Bug Me, Baby" reached #14 and #45, respectively.

Williams then fell into trouble with drugs, landing him in jail and disrupting his hot streak. Outside of a minor blip back on the charts in 1967 when "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" peaked at #96, he was never heard from again. Tragically, he took his own life in 1980 at the age of 44.

"Slow Down" is another classic by Williams that should have charted when it first came out in 1958. The tune was later covered by The Beatles, who took it to #25.
