He recorded "King Bee" in Crowley, Louisiana and it was released in 1957 on the Excello label as a "answer song" to "Bumble Bee", which had been written and recorded by Lizzie Douglas McCoy (Memphis Minnie). Slim Harpo had other R&B and rock and roll crossover hits in the 1960s such as "Raining in My Heart" (1961) and "Baby Scratch My Back" (1966) and he toured with James Brown at Madison Square Garden and appeared in the Whiskey A-Go-Go in 1968. If all his songs, "I"m a King Bee" was most often covered by white rock and roll bands including the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd. Recorded in demo sessions 1965, but not officially released. The name Pink Floyd was not yet being used and guitarist Bob Klose was part of the band at the time. The demo version is released with an Italian book from 1996.
