Around this time, Fats was dissatisfied with his recordings and his producer (Al Young). He hadn't had any hits lately and was searching for other ways to keep up the good feeling. He sat in on a Lloyd Price session, because he heard Dave (Bartholomew) was producing the session. In an interview in 1978 Fats said: Q: You played on “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” by Lloyd Price? Fats: I played on his first record. Q: Did you play any other sessions like that? Fats: I played a couple of things with Big Joe Turner. I played “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” and the flipside was “Mailman Blues.” As a matter of fact Lloyd’s wife stopped in to say hello to me from here. It was a great session! More important - it would bring back Dave back as Fats' producer in September 1952 (Fats had still one session with Al Young to go). “Lawdy Miss Clawdy’ b/w “Mailman Blues” hit the #1 spot in the R&B charts, knockin’ Fats' record “Goin’ Home’ from the #1 spot! "Oo-Ee-Baby"b/w "Chee-Koo-Baby" did not chart.
