I might have fared better in the bar band business if I hadn't insisted on doing numbers like this. It had been a modest hit for John Wesley Ryles four years earlier, but nobody recognized it now. It was difficult to sing, too. Within many of us, there is a desire to wail like Ray Charles or Jerry Lee Lewis. This performance makes a good case for suppressing that desire.
