"Knock On Wood" #28 12/10/1966

Another record that I thought charted much better on the pop side than it did, given how it turned into a staple of oldies radio. It did become a #1 R&B hit for Eddie Floyd, who co-wrote the song with Booker T. & the MG's guitarist Steve Cropper. Eddie said the "thunder and lightning" line stemmed from his memory of bad storms as a child in Montgomery, Alabama.
