I've heard a number of versions of this song but I have to say, my favorite is still the Live from Cook County Jail version. If you're lucky like I am, you can find it on vinyl. Seriously, it's amazing!
As much as I think the arrangement is totally awesome, I think the key is a bit too high for Gladys. Even though she can belt out those high notes, it seems a little too far out of her 'comfort range.' B. B. King slick as usual!
This is pure talent all around! The song is just the best, and Gladys is showing why she's one of the best singers ever. Saw her a few months ago, and her voice is just as powerful and dynamic now as it was then. And BB is the man.
@chunkdizzle420 There are bands like this today. You just won't find them them on the radio. Search the net under Blues Bands/Singers/artists. Start with Shakura S'Aida.
This is the song played when the sun starts going down, family catching seconds and thirds of the family barbeque and uncle leroy drinks start kicking in and starts dancing. Ya'll don't know nothing bout this. Then all the older folk cut a lil step too, even Madea! Paw Paw hollering "its bout time ya'll put some real music on. Those were the days. Damn!!
Oh, to reminisce...Hey, you know everybody's talkin' bout the good ol' days, right? Eh, eh, everybody the good ol' days, the good ol' days....well, let's talk about the good ol' days..
look at fantasia :)
