As co-writer (paired up with Isaac Hayes) of some of the greatest song in the Stax catalog, David porter also struck out on his own as a performing artist and cut some excellent sides. This record was a one-off for Porter in the 60's until he began recording again himself in 1970. In the meantime, him and Hayes penned songs such as 'B-A-B-Y" for Carla Thomas, "Candy" for the Astors and the immortal "Soul Man" just to name a few.
This catchy song (with an INCREDIBLE guitar break from Steve Cropper) shows Porter to have a FINE, unique voice on an underappreciated Stax side.
from 1965...
