I have a lot of Wynonie Harris' recordings from the 40's and 50's and one favorite song of mine is the later recording "Destination Love", written by Leiber and Stoller and recorded for Atlantic Records. Quote from Wikipedia:
Harris transitioned between several recording contracts between 1954 and 1964. In 1960 he cut six sides for Roulette Records that included a remake of his hit "Bloodshot Eyes" as well as "Sweet Lucy Brown", "Spread the News", "Saturday Night", "Josephine" and "Did You Get the Message".[11] He also became more indebted, and was forced to live in less glamorous surroundings.[4]
In 1964 Harris resettled for the last time in Los Angeles. His final recordings were three sides which he did for the Chess Records label (in Chicago) in 1964: "The Comeback", "Buzzard Luck" and "Conjured".[12] His final large-scale performance was at the Apollo, New York in November 1967, where he performed with Big Joe Turner, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy Witherspoon and T-Bone Walker.
Anyone knows if these later recordings from Roulette and Chess are available somewhere?
