While I don't think it's possible to hear a bad version of this cut (it's been recorded by the ranks of Grant Green to Steppenwolf and every version I've heard smokes!) to this listener this Detroit mover is the ultimate version.
Tina's sassy and powerful vocals match the ultra funky guitar and raw to the bone drums for one that's guaranteed to lift your Friday.
from 1969...

That's the medicine I needed. I didn't know I needed it, but I sure enough feel better now.
ReplyDeleteThank you,good stuff.
ReplyDeletei've always loved sookie sookie, and that's a fantastic version!
ReplyDeletethanks for that and everything, derek, and please keep up your great work.
I never heard this version before - solid cover of the Don Covay original! I think it's a New York track though (Juggy Murray) rather than a Motor City one...
