Little Sherman was actually Chicago songwriter Sherman Nesbary (aka Verble Domino!); Sherman's biggest claim to fame was writing "We Don't Have To Be Over 21" which was recorded by the Jackson 5ive and was their second release (pre-Motown) on the Steeltown label.
While Sherman didn't write this side (unless J. Porter is another pseudonym), he did have a hand in the excellent arrangement which is pure, late 60's Chicago soul.
from 1969...
