Proving once again they're the most versatile band in rock 'n' roll history. No one else covers all the bases as well as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You get The Beatles, The Byrds and The Stones all in one group.
Robinson's vocal is just fine, but I much prefer the electric guitar arrangement of The Stones to the horns on Robinson's original. And today Old Crow Medicine Show has them all beat.
This song was written by Jerry Lieber and Art Butler and was first recorded by Alvin Robinson in 1964. Don't mean to be a snob, just trying to give credit where its due.
I've now heard 6 versions of this song by: The Coasters, The Stones, Nazareth, Taj Mahal, this one and the original by Alvin Robinson. Some good versions there, but Robinson has the best version.
Love Ferrone's drumming on this.
