Wow - this might be the only recording around of Hendrix and Cornell Dupree (RIP) playing together. Love it - thanks for posting - sounds so much groovier at this speed, the later remixes with overdubs are fun but this is the real shizznits!
I don't think that Ray Sharpe copied this from anybody - I bought the very same 45 RPM vinyl record in 1966 or maybe it was 1965, after hearing it broadcast on a great Afro-American R&B station - WUFO "The Soul of the City" 1080 KHz AM from Amherst NY (Buffalo). That radio station still exists but has gone all modern gospel.
@mrgeorgebanjoman there's a really crap version of it on itunes - sounds like it was dubbed in a toilet tank. The original recording isn't great, I have this 45, but the digital version is terrible.
For those about to indulge, your about to hear parts 1&2 of this great tune! Just dug out my own vinyl copy. It has the bracketed [get the feeling] in larger letters suggesting more than one pressing maybe. By the way Transat was in a basement below a shop. Does that jog memories? Lisle Street is now an established part of London's [new] Chinatown.
Bought a copy of this at Transat Imports in Lisle Street [London UK] and wrote the date of purchase on the sleeve.. Dec 11th 1966. Can anyone recall the place? I'd love to know the name of the guy spinning the discs?
Hi Elduuude, & thanks for drawing that to my attention, This has to be a rare phenomenom, an American Soul R&B artiste lifting a tune/riff from a British band, what a turn around as if you check out 80% of 60s British singers/groups hits they were copies of U.S. hits. The lyricist & singer also pays homage to 'Gloria' with some of It's lyrics. What a cracking raw R&B band THEM were, left a lot of great tracks.
@mrgeorgebanjoman I had the same thought, and it also bears resemblance in chord progression and lyric to James Brown's "I Got the Feelin'", released in 1968. Mutual cross-pond inspiration :)
@mrgeorgebanjoman I immediately had the same thought. And then I checked, and If I'm not mistaken Gloria is from 1964 and Help Me from 1966. Strange, after all Them were clearly influenced by American R&B. Would have been only natural if this song had come first.
Man - I bought this 45 RPM new when I was 15 years old when it was a hit on the soul charts - got me into uncontrollably manic dancing! I see from the hole just where the "M" of te RPM should be, that this was a "cut out: - discontinued; the shops would sell it for real cheap. The song was split over both sides and there was a fade out on side one and a fade in on side two - Here the transition transition from one to two is not smooth, tho it can be done. Thanks for making this available.

This is a cracker of a song, why can't it be bought on I Tunes? Sounds like a cross between Gloria & Let's go where the action is.

Hendrix played on this though not the lead guitar riff, one year before coming over to this side of the pond to find fame.

Sounds like THEMS Gloria could have been born out from this great grooving song
