Escrita por Berry Gordy Jr. y Tyran Carlo, (un seudónimo de la prima de Jackie Billy Davis), la canción es uno de los clásicos del rock and roll. Tomando el título de la canción de Louis Jordan Reet, Petite y Gone, se trataba de la primera grabación de Jackie Wilson como solista. La canción alcanzó el número 62 en el Billboard Hot 100 en septiembre de 1957 y alcanzó el número 6 en el UK Singles Chart. Con el éxito de la canción, Gordy fue capaz de financiar el lanzamiento de Motown Records.
En diciembre de 1986, más de dos años después de la muerte de Wilson, la canción se convirtió en número 1 en el Reino Unido durante cuatro semanas después de su uso en un spot de Levi's. En el spot, una versión animada mediante stop-motion con la figura de Wilson canta la canción. Este poseía el record de más tiempo entre debut de una canción en la lista y finalmente alcanzar el número uno (29 años, 1 mes, 11 días) hasta que fue superado por Tony Christie's (Is This Way To) Amarillo en 2005.
