Hello, I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this article.

Review

• One suspicious link
• Is linking to a disambiguation page intentional?

• Chicago, October 31, 1935 → Put a semi-colon after Chicago and put the date so it goes underneath it (Example: I Was Here (song)
• Structurally, I think you should follow "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" as an example for this article
• songs, which → Remove comma
• with recordings by several blues musicians. → Such as?
• as well as → and
• What is a race records chart? Needs linking of possible It's a precursor to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart we have today.
• the song an electric → There's a word missing here, doesn't make sense
• at that time a studio guitarist, → a studio guitarist at the time,
• as performing for the recording, → Doesn't make sense
• "Baby, Please Don't Go" is likely an adaptation of "Long John", → Why don't you say this in the lead?
• "I'm Alabama Bound","Elder Green Blues", → Needs to be a space between Bound and Elder
• "Don't Leave Me Here", and "Turn Your Lamp Down Low". → Don't need a comma when using 'and'
• guitarist Lonnie Johnson never → Comma after Johnson
• Original song seems odd to be called this for a section when it's not an original song? Perhaps say that he re-arranged it into what is now known as the original version of "baby, Please Don't Go". Would you agree?
• The song became a big hit → Too informal
• Boosted by the B-side, → Boosted?
• The single was issued → The song was released
• In the AC/DC version, the block quote isn't being indented because of the picture. Either do something else with the block quote, such as in a sentence as a quote, or move/remove the picture from the left
• I'd combined the AC/DC version section and Aerosmith version section as a 'Other versions' section.
• A music video, directed by Mark Haefeli, was produced to promote the single. Subsequently, the song has become a staple of the band's concert repertoire. → This needs sourcing

I'm satisfied that this article meets the GA criteria now. Well done.  — Calvin999 08:00, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Pass or Fail:

Non-reviewer comment: This could use more reviews from critics. One review for Williams, one for Janovitz, one for AC/DC, and one for Aerosmith doesn't seem like very much. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:04, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
