Little Walter's "Blues with a Feeling" was issued on Checker (780), a Chess Records subsidiary.
During his time with Chief, Hooker also recorded singles as a sideman for Bobby Saxton and Betty Everett as well as in his own name for the Bea & Baby, C.J., and Checker record labels.
It did not sell well, but the song was successfully covered by the American rockabilly star, Dale Hawkins, on the Checker label.
The song was Diddley's third single release through Checker Records after "Diddley Daddy".
Performed in the West Coast blues style, it became Fulson's first record chart hit for Checker Records, a subsidiary of Chess Records.
