Cool funk. Vocalist sounds like Billy Gibbons to me. May have a go at this at our gig this coming Saturday! With guitar solo of course rather than sax.

band line-up at the time this clip was realeased: Elmer Gantry(Dave Terry)- Vocals, Kirby Gregory - Guitar, Steve Emery - Bass, Jim Russell - Drums.

Jim and Dave originally formed the band. unfortunatelly they didnt last long. all hard to find info. no whereabouts of them at present. rumors say that they reformed in 2007 to support the late jeff hailey. thanks snardzy for sharing with us this rare clip.

a classic and fantastic track :)

[villajonny]

They did indeed reform in 2007,and I was lucky enough to see them play a stunning set supporting Jeff Healy in London. Great band.

[guybush]

man you are so lucky :) i had a email communication with the dutch tv that made the show back in the 70's. i may have the original video clip complete by the end of this year. you have any pics or video from the concert you attended???

[Redangelofjustice]
