Believe O'Jays' (cover?) version made its debut on a TV show!

Jim replies...

Could be.

Over bere, we never got US TV so if it did not nmake it on vinyl, we were totally out out of it.

Woke up today and Benny's version magically appeared out of nowhere! I gave it a listen. Not bad! A bit milder.

Jim's reply is.......

A bit milder is right. I sort of liked his one - back in 1962 it had an edgy feel which I guess it lost over the years as things got edgier anyway.

Benny had some connction with Ernie K Doe - cannot recall what it was - perhaps he was on the "Mother In Law Session"?

It is a long time ago.
