Jerry Butler, great singer, wrote it. Eddie Floyd did a good cover withBooker T and the MGs and the Memphis Horns doing the backing. Merseybeats, for those who haven’t heard it, was same title different song.
Jerry Butler co-wrote my favourite soul song Otis Redding’s I’ve Been Loving You Too Long. Jerry could still hack it 40 years on.
Felix Pappalardi, Mountain bassist and Cream producer was shot & killed by his drugged-up wife in their N.Y. appartment in '83.
most of the jerry butler tracks i have were with betty everett. i have one of his called 'he will break your heart' - there's a nice version of it by the mersybeats.
