Ice Cream Man — John Brim (1953)

"Ice Cream Man" was written and originally recorded by Chicago Blues musician John Brim for Chess Records in 1953. The recording stayed unreleased until it appeared on the 1969 album “Whose Muddy Shoes” – a collection of John Brim and Elmore James recordings. The song didn’t become well-known until Van Halen covered it for their debut album in 1978. David Lee Roth recorded it again in 1996 and that version appears on his 2003 “Diamond Dave” album.
