"Mercy, Mercy" #35 10/24/1964

Here's another record I was unfamiliar with, that made the Top 40 in October 1964. Don Covay wrote several hits, such as "Pony Time" (Chubby Checker), "Chain Of Fools" (Aretha Franklin) and one of the best B-sides ever (co-written with the legendary Steve Cropper), "Sookie Sookie" - the flip side of "Magic Carpet Ride" for Steppenwolf.
