  • Is that an LP cover? Where did you get that great picture?

  • @chrispiccaro18

    Yes,that's the original ''Moondog Matinee'' wrap around cover.

  • I like it!!!!

  • Marie Adams did the original version for Peacock Records in 1952.Bobby Bland covered the song in 1963 for Duke / Peacock.That's Richard Manuel on lead vocals for this version.

  • This is the dirtiest, funkiest, tightest, harshest, most gutteral go-for-broke, whiskey-and-cigarettes voice I've ever heard come out of Richard... or anyone period. Fucking amazing.... I truly wish I was born with this God-given talent. To think, this was before they even became The Band!

  • I really do miss Richard.

  • Richard Manuel was the true soul of the group . Just listen to the commitment of his blues style on this track. The road took him from us . I miss his voice . That's why I got out early . I will always appreciate funk and blues .

  • Such great voice! No one else compares that I can think of except maybe the young Stevie Winwood (Gimme Some Lovin').

  • wow

  • @chrispiccaro18: this is the cover from an LP of "THE bAND"

  • Where can I download this from? Is it on Amazon or iTunes? So amazing.

    RIP Richard Manuel
