Was lucky to see Covay (and maybe Hendrix) with Jackie Wilson and James Brown before the '68 riots...still love that music...glad it's alive and well on the Tube.
@the1ali He did. At least from what this website confirms. That's actually why I'm looking at the song. (3w)(DOT)earlyhendrix(DOT)com/discographyconfirmed

If Jagger could actually SING (that's unfair, he did SING once, on "Under My thumb")... but to continue... this is what he would sound like.

@mobegone I love that "soul" sound too. Another great that Jimi loved was Curtis Mayfield. Much the same guitar style.

Yes, Mick Jagger(&Keith Richard & Van Morrison)) is influenced by Don Covay. Don is also to hear on the Stones Album "Dirty Work"

I bought this when it was first released in 19mumble, and it still sounds as great today.
Soul at its best.
