Random Page  /  Random Song


Honky Tonk is an instrumental written by Billy Butler, Bill Doggett, Clifford Scott and Shep Shepherd. In 1956, Doggett released it on a two-part single.[1] On the Billboard pop charts, it peaked at number two for three weeks.[2] It was a number one R&B single, spending thirteen non-consecutive weeks at the number one spot.[3] In fact, \"Honky Tonk\" was the biggest R&B single of 1956.[4]

There's a \"Part One\" and a \"Part Two\". Together they are about 5:42 in length.

It became Bill Doggett's signature piece. As one of the basic tunes in the R&B and rock and roll repertoire, it went on to be recorded by many instrumental groups.

The group The Beach Boys included it on their 1963 album Surfin' USA.
