2:36
single, 1968
Written by Booker T. Jones and William Bell
This soul group was also known as the Nightingales and the Dixie Nightingales. This song was also recorded by William Bell, but I prefer this version; it's got a little more punch. It's a mid-tempo shuffler, restrained despite Ollie's impassioned, sometimes screaming vocal. The horns and the rising organ lines keep it bright. I like how he yells "ha ha ha!" at about 1:50.
