Doesn't this one just take you straight back to the 70s - big cars, big hair, shades, open shirts, bell-bottoms & platforms. Groovy .

No idea what vintage that is but exactly the same melody must've been used in about a thousand blues songs by now - only difference there was the bizarre rooster crowing in this one.

The song is a blues standard, a persistent folk theme in the genre. A Delta staple. Howling Wolf gave it the electric Chicago treatment in the early '60s, and the Stones picked up on that. Cue Delta going blues 101 for a wider audience.

I love her.
Here she is, again, belting the shit out of a rhythm. So much blues royalty in this clip. Clock Sonny and Brownie waiting in the wings. Followed up by Willie Dixon banging the good god damn out of the bass. And the rest, I mean fuck....Victoria Spivey crooning Jimmie Rodgers TB blues. What a babe.

1973 but sounds a decade or so older. Obviously a deep south gospel background to that, reminiscent of Sam Cooke and others.fivepointer wrote:One of the first soul 45's i brought (still have it too)

Ah, not a fan of the falsetto, I'm afraid. That was the end of me and the BGs, end of me and the Doobies as well. This is more my style:
