Rock and Roll has come a long way from Pat Boone ripping off Little Richard...
There is this though --
Jerome Gee and his Happy Dancers...
The original..B0bby Womack and the Valentinos...
Womack wrote this one for the Valentinos and got pissed when Murray the K gave it to this stupid white English band, until he got his first royalty check --
The Valentinos of course were from Philadelphia. Jerome Gee and His Happy Dancers were from Boston. Bobby Womack was from Detroit. And these guys were from some place in England...
This guy was from Philly, I think..
Cover song by some guy from Dearborn...Detroit...Duluth..one of those cold states..
Got it?
