The Lime - " Love a Go-Go "

A US release from 1967 on the Westwood label. The Lime ,a young band from Austin ,Texas covered the classic Stevie Wonder lp track from 1966's Uptight album. They give it a blue eyed feel and I always reckoned Stevie oughta have released it as a single.The flips a decnt cover of the Doors "Soul Kitchen". It's put me in mind to post the original....just might y'know coz it's feckin' class.

The band is from Akron, Ohio. Thanks for posting this fantastic jam. Though it didn't make the Billboard charts, it was a monster hit.
