“Kansas City“ is a rhythm and blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952. First recorded by Little Willie Littlefield the same year, the song later became a chart-topping hit when it was recorded by Wilbert Harrison in 1959. “Kansas City“ is one of Leiber and Stoller’s “most recorded tunes, with more than three hundred versions“, with several appearing in the R&B and pop record charts.
In 1959, after several years of performing Littlefield’s “K. C. Loving“, Wilbert Harrison decided to record the song. In March 1959, after Little Richard’s version was released, Harrison, with a trio including guitarist Wild Jimmy Spruill, recorded it in a New York studio for producer Bobby Robinson of Fury Records. “Kansas City“ was released on a single by Fury later that year.
Although the song’s arrangement varied little from Littlefield’s, it “struck such a solid shuffle groove that it was unforgettable“, with inspired rhythm and solo guitar work by Spruill. Harrison’s song was issued with Leiber and Stoller’s original name, “Kansas City“, but changed the refrain to “They got some crazy little women there, and I’m gonna get me one“ and dropped one twelve-bar section.
Shortly after the song’s release, several other versions appeared. Billboard magazine’s pop song pick of the week for March 30, 1959, listed five different releases of “Kansas City“: Harrison’s and versions by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, Rocky Olson, Rockin’ Ronald & the Rebels, and a reissue by Littlefield. A week later, the magazine announced the single release of a version by Little Richard. Although Ballard’s and Richard’s versions both appeared in the lower reaches of the Billboard charts, Harrison’s was a runaway hit, reaching number one in both the R&B and pop charts, where it remained for seven weeks, and became one of the top selling records of 1959.
