Sea Cruise

"Sea Cruise" is a song written and originally recorded by Huey "Piano" Smith and His Clowns in 1958, but this version was not released until 1971.

The best known version was recorded by Frankie Ford and released in December 1958, with Ford’s voice dubbed over Smith's original backing track (which featured ship's bell and horn sound-effects, boogie woogie piano, and a driving horn section and a shuffle beat that later influenced ska music).

It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over one million copies, earning a gold disc.
