Roy C. (Hammond) and his guys on this one that I have this as the flip of "No More Knockin'" (the followup to their "Who's That Knocking" mini-hit). On the short lived NYC based Hollywood label (not to be confused with John Dolphin's similarly titled
West Coast outfit)

I like it better than the top side.A good 7 for me
