“Prayer Meetin’ “ #45 8/10/1968

Some more greasy, funky Memphis sounds from Willie Mitchell. This one is a cover of a tune from jazz organist Jimmy Smith, who did as much as anyone to popularize the Hammond B-3 organ, a staple of rock and R&B music. In later years, Willie broke his hip and didn’t realize it for several months. Mitchell died in 2010.
