Whoa, baby, chills and fever!
Chills and fever is whatchu give to me
You gimme chills and fever, baby

About
“Chills and Fever” is one of Tom Jones’s earliest releases. Its original recording was released in 1960 on Detroit’s Startime label (Cat# 45-5001), accrediting Jones as “Johnny Love and His Orchestra.” The recording was then distributed more widely by Dot Records (Cat# 45-245), this time accrediting Jones as “Ronnie Love and His Orchestra”. This version of the song would give writing credit to Bill Ness and Bobby Rackep.
Jones would go on to rerecord the song for Decca in 1964 (Cat# F.11966), releasing it as a non-album single, this time giving writing credit to Billy Gray and Hank Thompson. This version would later be collected as part of the The Complete Decca Recordings boxed set’s rarities album, Hide & Seek (The Lost Collection), but would be excluded from the abridged digital release.
