Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt- Function At The Junction- 1977 -Live

An oldie originally done by Shorty Long (May 20, 1940 June 29, 1969). Long was an African-American soul singer, songwriter, and record producer for Motown's Soul Records imprint. He was a native of Birmingham, Alabama, United States, and a 1980 inductee of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame.His first release, "Devil With The Blue Dress On" (1964), written with William "Mickey" Stevenson, was the first recording issued on Motown's Soul label, a subsidiary designed for more blues-based artists such as Long.Long's 1966 single "Function At The Junction" was his first popular hit, reaching #42 on the national R&B charts. Other single releases included "It's A Crying Shame" (1964), "Chantilly Lace" (1967), and "Night Fo' Last" (1968). Enjoy another rare gem.
