"I Hear You Knocking" is a popular rhythm and blues song with emphatic syncopation, written by Dave Bartholomew and Pearl King and published in 1955. The original recording was made by Smiley Lewis.
The song was popularized in 1955 in a cover version by Gale Storm in a recording on Dot Records catalog number 15412, reaching #2 on the Billboard charts. The song reached #3 on the Cash Box Best-Selling Record chart.
A later recording by Dave Edmunds reached #4 on the Billboard charts in 1971 and was the Christmas #1 single in the UK of 1970, topping the chart for six weeks.
In an interview with John Lennon made shortly after the dissolution of the Beatles, Lennon told interviewer Jann Wenner that this was his favourite new song.
There are also two versions of this song recorded by Alvin Lee. A live version in 1994 on the album 'Live in Vienna' and a studio version in 1995 on the album 'Nineteen Ninety four'.

It was the 50's but I think it was Little Richard not Fats Domino. Fats was more mellow and bluesy like in "Blueberry Hill" where he found his thrill.
