    Here's how LaVern tried---and failed---in the 1952 Singles Battle

    PRELIM
    13 Little Walter - Can't Hold Out Much Longer - Checker 758
    6 Todd Rhodes with LaVern Baker - Trying - King 4556

    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 5/10

    A low 6 --Nobody has a particularly exciting version of this one---not LaVern,not Ella,not the original Hilltoppers version.

    Even Roscoe Gordon's versiion lacks spark
