If anyone out there has 'You'd Better Go Now' by Jeri, would they please post it? Thank You.

Fire Down Below:
- By Lola Dee (about 1958)
- Wing Records (subsidiary of Mercury)
- I still have mine in 45rpm
This tune was arranged by the great Jimmy Lunceford and Tommy Dorsey arranger, Melvin "Sy" Oliver.
No, Peggy didn't record this.
Cheers,
Thomas from Germany
Did Peggy Lee also record this?
