 | The song, “If I Could Be With You” became one of the band’s crowd-killers in 1930. Although the song was already familiar to Graystone audiences, they went absolutely crazy the first time it was sung by the Cotton Pickers’ George (Fathead) Thomas. “When he finished, the audience were cheering and stomping,” the group’s drummer, Cuba Austin, recalled in John Chilton’s book “McKinney’s Music.” | |
