Made famous by Elvis Costello, his version being his 2nd of 3 U.K top 10 hits (U.K number 4 16th-Feb-1980) the original by Sam & Dave dates back to 1967 altho not a hit.
Get Happy! was a great great record - so many great songs like High Fidelity and Look at the Man You call Uncle (having a heart attack around you ankles)
love it,xxx

Who says he couldn't sing? Elvis C is honestly one of my favorite rock singers.

Very nice, but this is just the single with him singing live over the top.

@guv859 No way, this is WAY up tempo from the album/single version.

@guv859 some of the instruments might be live, this is definitely faster than the single.
