Just checked, I did have it, but it's better than I remembered. Just added it to the bottom of my 1967 list. It's a soul houserocker, baby.

Ouch, I don't like any version of this song whatsoever.

Is anyone else brave enough to agree.

It wouldn't take courage to agree, just really bad musical taste. But we've seen many times that you have plenty of that.

About 25 years ago, a soul-music collector in Minneapolis made me a cassette of some of his rarest 45s. The Ralph Jackson was on it.
