As a member of the legendary Mar-Keys, Floyd Newman's voice is heard on their smash hit "Last Night" with his immortal line "aaahhhhhh last NIGHT", and his baritone sax graced oodles of Stax/Volt records. Surprisingly, this record doesn't really feature his horn (even though he's the artist listed, go figure). The tune IS a showcase for organ and guitar though (probably Jerry Lee "Smoochy Smith" on organ and Charlie "Redman" Freeman on guitar; certainly doesn't sound like Booker T or Steve Cropper!) and these fellows lay down some seriously groovy sounds within.
from 1963...
