They would rack up a few more R&B hits, but this was the final Top 40 record for Sam and Dave. The distribution deal between their label, Stax, and Atlantic Records was ending, and they didn’t get a lot of love from Atlantic going forward. It didn’t help they hardly ever spoke to each other outside of being on stage or business dealings. This one was covered nicely by Bonnie Raitt and also by ZZ Top, and the B-side, “Wrap It Up” was later a Fabulous Thunderbirds hit.
