So glad that there's no Pato Banton on the original :)

I first heard this one as a remake by Bonnie Raitt. It was on "Green Light" which was expected to be her breakthrough. That would have to wait 'til "Nick of Time" a few years later. Instead this and the Clash's remake of "Police on My Back" would get Eddy's career going again in the 80's.

When I was in the Philippines in 1968-69, there were two or three versions of this song on jukeboxes in the bars, none of those versions by the Equals. In fact, I didn't know the Equals had done this song first until I returned to the States. I didn't know about the Equals' original version until then because none of the local Top 40 stations played the song when it was new.

What great footage! Is this the precursor to Funk? It's got a real funky vibe.
