Not everybody co-writes ONE mammoth hit song and no more. With Otis Blackwell, Eddie penned "Fever," first recorded by Little Willie John and then turned into a classic by Peggy Lee.
Not everybody can sound like he might be of a different race, and get onto the charts that way. Yet DJ Alan Freed promoted a "rockabilly" tune called "Priscilla" that sounded no different from what Presley might do, but...no, it was Eddie and "The Dimples" (the Coates sisters and Barbara Sanders).
The song, originally on the Roost label and then picked up by Roulette, drifted around the edge of the Top 20 on the Billboard charts, but that was it for Eddie Cooley and The Dimples. As a songwriter, Eddie had a minor hit with "Aw Shucks Baby" (sung by the hefty Tiny Topsy).
Hopefully, in those days before Spotify and Piracy, Eddie got enough royalty checks to keep him comfortable, and to supplement whatever else he did over these many years. Death is final, all right, but "Fever" keeps burning.
