While I jumped on that, too, it seems unlikely.  Jr Walker and his All Stars was a Detroit band, signed to Berry Gordy and Motown. 

Steve Cropper, on the other hand, was pure Memphis and Stax Records:  Booker T and Otis Redding.  Of course, he may actually be more famous from his appearances in the Blues Brothers movies.

Really Great! Classic tones!

This sounds like it would be a good companion piece to Choir of Young Believers' "Sedated" (from Rhine Gold).

Anyone know who played guitar on this? His original guitarist was Willie Woods, but the album's liner notes don't say.

 
Allmusic credits Willie Woods as a co-writer so it seems likely it's him but I couldn't find anything else.

Standard 12-bar blues progression, that's why it sounds so familiar ;)
Next song on today's playlist was Albert King with some blues in the same key and about the same tempo.  Nice.

Black Magic Woman?? With horns instead of guitar.!!  Much slower, and probably pre-dates BMW.

 
Yes, this song is is at least a few years older than "Black Magic Woman", but both songs are pretty standard minor chord progressions.  Cool tune.

Sitting on a chair,  I had to stand up an do a slow dance - the rhythms are really  cool (and hot at the same time).

When you hear great stuff like this, you're forced to remember that musicians like Jr. Walker played more than one song. 

Thanks RP!  
 

Well said...  I agree...

60's Motown at its best. Junior Walker's haunting sax. Fantastic.

This predates The Doors, but that's probably the sort of sound Manzarek may have been going for.

Different....was that an out take from the Quaaludes Sessions? Sounds like the Funk Brothers missed that one.
