Recording and release


King recorded "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong" in St. Louis with Ike Turner on piano.[1] It was originally released on Little Milton's St. Louis-based label, Bobbin Records, in October 1961. When the record sold well locally, it was leased to King Records and reissued in November 1961.[2][3] The song became Albert King's first hit single. It reached No. 14 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 34 on the Cash Box R&B chart in December 1961.[4][5]

The song appeared on King's debut album The Big Blues, released on King Records in 1962.[1]
