                Willie Dixon, 1983.  Recorded: 31-01-61 |  
        | Johnny Kidd 
        (vocals) - Alan Caddy (rthm) - Brian Gregg (bass) - 
        Clem Catinni (drums) |  
        | A 
        surprisingly effective rendition of an R&B song that the Rolling Stones 
        would make famous some three years later.  Kidd's voice and the way 
        he pleaded with the lyrics 
        were very potent, and EMI probably decided it was just too much for the 
        sensible and sensitive record-buying public 
        to appreciate, despite the fact that this version owed more to 
        traditional Rock 'n' Roll than Rhythm & Blues.  At the time R&B was not yet a commercially viable 
        proposition for such a (perceived) innocent pop chart.

        | I don't want you to be no slave I don't want you to work all day
 I don't want you to be true
 I just wanna make love to you
 Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you
 
 All I wanna do is to buy you clothes
 All I wanna do is to be with you in those
 There is nothing more you can do
 Leave me making love to you
 Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you
 
 'Cos I can tell by the way you walk that walk
 I can tell by the way you talk that talk
 I can know by the way you treat your guy
 That I can give you all the loving in the whole wide 
        world
 
 All I want to do is to make sure that you're well fed
 And to go out and earn you plenty of bread
 I don't want you, sad and blue
 I just wanna make love to you
 Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you
 
 'Cos I can tell by the way you walk that walk
 I can tell by the way you talk that talk
 I can know by the way you treat your guy
 That I can give you all the loving in the whole wide 
        world
 
 I just want to give you plenty of bread
 Mmmm, make sure that you're well fed
 I don't want you to be sad and blue
 I just wanna make love to you
 Coo-oo-ool, love to you, mmmm, love you
 
 (to fadeout)
 Mmmm, you're my chick and I sure dig you well
 I wanna make lo-o-o-ove to you (improvise)
