Play it, Steve! A #1 R&B hit from Sam and Dave with that world-famous shout-out to guitarist Steve Cropper. He and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn of Booker T. and the MG's appeared both on this record and the cover version by the Blues Brothers which stayed very true to the original. There's a line in the song, co-written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, that I (and many others) always believed went "I was educated from good stock." But according to the Songfacts website, Porter said it's actually "I was educated at Woodstock" meaning at a school in the forest built from felled timbers, not the rock festival which didn't happen until almost two years later.
