Mirt Mirley & the Steppers and the Rhythm Steppers were the same group and cut this on Bill Black's own label. Another version followed by one Dennis Turner before the hit by Clyde McPhatter in 1962.
The author Billy Swan was to remain unknown till the 70s when he topped the singles charts
I've just posted the original version of "Lover
Please" by the Rhythm Steppers in 1960. According
to the Originals Project website, Swan wrote the
song while in high school and the group were his
friends. It was cut in Memphis, probably at
Satellite, and Swan attended the session but did
not play.
