Them Again, 1966
Written by Chris Kenner, 1961
The writer of this song, Chris Kenner, also wrote "I Like It Like That," a hit for the Dave Clark Five; "Land of 1000 Dances," a top ten hit for Wilson Pickett; and "Sick And Tired," a hit for Fats Domino. He never made it very big on his own name, probably due to the usual racist attitudes of the time, but certainly not helped by his alcoholism and a statutory rape charge. Oh yeah, this song, Them's version. It's a fine R&B blues shuffle, with young Van's yowling, soul-inspired vocal hitting the spot and a buzzy sax that gives it a real punch.
