Loads of versions of this classic but this one is a real treat. Bill's playing is so effortlessly inventive and subtle....

Back to some great driving 60s Soul. This is the kind of exciting, energy packed record that sadly went out of fashion in the 70s. Pity.....

Enjoyed that. sort of funky gospel R & B early disco sound all rolled into one. Can't believe I'd never heard of these guys.

Girls Just Wanna have Fun, Nothing Compares to You, Black Magic Woman and Tainted Love were all covers, as was the Elvis version of Nothing but a Hounddog, while Self Control was originally sung by an Italian named Raf. :o Who knew?

& Whiskey in the Jar is an old Irish folk song. Ok, not such a big surprise there...

Interesting. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorite old groups, the Platters, with the powerful vocals rising to crescendos. I guess that's how the Platters probably started out - singing gospel at church.
