The first single from the Bar-Kays, a Memphis band that had just been hired to back Otis Redding on the road. Tragically, most of the group died along with Redding in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin six months after this was released. Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived (but passed away in 2015). Bassist James Alexander wasn't on board, as the small aircraft was full. Those two members carried on and the band had a number of R&B hits into the early 1980's. The kids heard on this record were hanging around outside the studio and were paid with bottles of Coca-Cola.
