abstract
  • %22The Things That I Used to Do%22 is a 12-bar blues song written by Guitar Slim (aka Eddie Jones). His recording of it, made in New Orleans, was arranged and produced by a young Ray Charles. It was released on Specialty Records in 1953, and became a bestseller the following year. It was one of the biggest hits in the label's history and stayed on the rhythm and blues charts for 42 weeks. The song was at #1 for six weeks, and was the best-selling R&B record of the year, selling more than a million copies.Since Guitar Slim was a blues artist, Specially Record's Art Rupe figured that his appeal would be limited to the Southern rural audience. However, urban R&B stations in the North picked up the song, pushing it into a national hit. As a result, Guitar Slim became in great demand as a performer and played on the stage of the Apollo Theater.
