I am so happy to have found this website. I'm from Houston. I remember Honky Tonk, Slow Walk, Hippy Dippy, and so many more. I was and still am a big fan.

I dig "The Worm," one of Bill Doggett's early Sixties records, the most! All of his records are great. Glad you have this tribute to him.

Wow!!!! Mr. Bill Doggett is part of the reason I am who I am!!! My name is Danielle,I am the daughter of the late drummer, Emmett Spencer (d.1988). Mr. Doggett gave my father his first shot at really honing his craft when he somehow convinced my grandfather to allow my teen-age father to drop out of high school to join his ban. My father traveled through the country playing the drums for Mr. doggett throughout the '60's. I do believe that he record Honky Tonk (1&2) and Wow, with him. Please correct me if I am wrong. In 1966 my father was playing with Mr. Doggett in a club in Cleveland, Ohio, where he met my lovely mother. I found an old picture of my father playing with Mr. Doggett on the internet (wish I knew how to add it to this post)when I showed it to my mother she was able to give me names of the men playing the guitars in the photo I found where her neighbor, Jimmy Landers, and my godfather, Barney Hendrix. My father continued to play, mostly locally after leaving the band, but would ALWAYS talk about his start with Mr. Doggett. THANK YOU MR. DOGGETT!!!!

"Honky Tonk" might have been my earliest lesson in ear training at the age of one when I would hear that lick in the tenor sax solo. We don't hear much about James Brown and Bill Doggett collaborating on musical projects. James Brown did an arrangement of it, which had a background of the JB's, "Funky Good Time."

I enjoyed this site that honors a great man and his style of music. I'm currently writing a research paper about Bill Doggett, and this is a valuable resource. Thank you for this dynamic site!

Honky Tonk! What a song, what an important family--not just in music but civil rights. Keep it rolling Bill!

The 7 years I spent as Bill's guitarist were pure joy. Our last concert was a tribute to Bill's collaboration with Ella.
