        Soul from head to toe on this track, a version of the Otis Redding 
        favourite.  It was consigned to the vaults for nearly twenty years 
        indicating that EMI weren't bold enough to take the Stax label and its 
        associates head-on.  Kidd was completely plausible for this musical 
        genre, just as The Righteous Brothers proved later in the year when they 
        took "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" to the top spot.  Perhaps by this 
        time the group's image was wearing a little thin with the record-buying 
        public whereas EMI preferred their rock 'n' roll. |
