Here's a useless tidbit of musical trivia. If you listen to the original Sam Cooke version (the first link), you will notice that the vocal arrangement is really a duet. The other voice went on to be a HUGE star in R&B, pop and soul music.

 

And the other vocalist is.....................................................Lou Rawls.

I just love that song. My first recollection of it was the Animal's version. I have always been a huge Eric Burdon fan. It is one of those that even I will sing after a few drinks.....RRod

Thanks jkinnama! What a 'sweet soul nugget' that was. A 'chestnut' indeed! Those two are amazing, modern day bluesmen. I especially like Robert Cray and his performances on Claptons' Crossroads Concerts....RRod

LOL Johnt, I ruin it regularly too....I'm putting this song together with "Oh Darling" by the Beatles, which has a very similar chord structure...they blend nicely. NOW, I can ruin two songs at once....lol

JKinnama-Thanks for sharing that one. In the '70's I used to go watch Mr. Cray at a bar called "Mother's Mattress Factory" and another called "The Peacock" here in my home town. You could buy a beverage and walk right up and watch him up-close and personal. There was also a dance floor where I tripped the light fantastic with the feathery touch of a blacksmith. I believe he was based in Portland, Oregon at the time. These bars were small and personal. "Mother's" is the one where a freind of mine and I walked in backwards to see John Lee Hooker. There was a long, long line and they weren't letting anyone in until someone came out. We had been into the

google dust and I suggested that they would think we were leaving if we went in backwards. The guy at the table outsice just looked at us with a blank stare and we shuffled right in. True story. I'll have to learn this one so I can ruin it also. Good stuff!!

Yes Sir, Robert Cray stands on top of the ladder with that one. As much as I like Keb Mo, I would have preferred to hear Robert do it all himself.
