Not to be confused with Tyrone Davis' 1970 masterpiece with the same title, this stomper from Los Angeles based (born in Nebraska) singer Vernon Garrett is a thing unto itself.
Vernon is a journeyman singer who worked the L.A and bay area circuit, oftentimes with his wife at the time (Jewel) who died tragically in 1968. Vernon was despondent for a few years, but came back in a bluesier vein and continues to work to this day in a blues or gospel bag.
This is a wonderful example of a song that is perfectly written.
from 1966...
