In 1957 Bobby Marchan joined Huey ‘Piano’ Smith and the Clowns as lead vocalist and, with his distinctive vocals and pianist Smith’s boogie-woogie stylings, recorded a succession of infectious rock ‘n’ roll hits, notably ‘Rockin’ Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu’ and ‘Don’t You Just Know It’. Marchan left the Clowns in 1960 after leaping onto the charts with a melodramatic version of ‘There Is Something On Your Mind which was a cover version of Big Jay McNeely’s hit of the previous year. Marchan’s version made an impact through its impassioned recitation involving sexual jealousy and murder, lifted from an earlier New Orleans hit, Larry Darnell’s ‘I’ll Get Along Somehow’ from 1949...........
