“Roosevelt And Ira Lee (Night Of The Mossacin)” #44 11/22/1969

Once in a while I run into a dead end while researching this stuff, especially when the artist was a one-hit wonder. Mr. Google has virtually no info on this record, Tony Joe White’s followup to “Polk Salad Annie.” It was on his second LP, had a spoken intro, was very Southern, and just missed the Top 40. That album also contains his “Rainy Night In Georgia,” which became a huge hit for Brook Benton in 1970. BTW Tony Joe deliberately misspelled “moccasin” in the title.
