Excellent Atlantic soul from Don Covay! Don was one of the label’s biggest soul talents in the mid 60s - and he not only cut some great work on his own, but also penned some tunes that have become some of the most enduring soul numbers of his generation - like the cuts “Mercy, Mercy”, “Sookie, Sookie”, and “See Saw” - all of which are on this LP! Don’s band the Goodtimers back him up - and other cuts include “The Boomerang”, “Fat Man”, and “Iron Out The Rough Spots”.ĭon Covay… the man who was being funky when funk still was a bad word.
