HI-HEEL SNEAKERS (David Cassidy)
“Hi-Heel Sneakers” (often also spelled “High Heel Sneakers”) is a blues song written and recorded by Tommy Tucker in 1963. The song’s rhythmic approach has also been compared to that of Jimmy Reed. In 2017, the song was inducted into the Blues Foundation Blues Hall of Fame as a “classic of blues recording”. The panel noted that Tucker’s single was “the last blues record from the mighty Chess Records catalogue to hit No. 1 on the charts”. (More from Wikipedia)
