BRENDA JO HARRIS - STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE

This track has the right vibe to ease into a Monday; dig that intro with the killer fuzz guitar against a swirling string section. By the time Brenda sings the word "knock" and the drummer stops time and plays a door knock pattern, I'm completely sold (or soul-ed, depending on your spelling preferences).

The song is incredibly catchy, and started climbing the r&b charts in mid-'68, but for whatever reason it never achieved the hit status it deserved.

Brenda Jo Harris released a small amount of 45's, and also sang in Sam Moore's Revue which he put together shortly after the breakup of Sam & Dave.

from 1968...
