“Let’s Work Together” (Canned Heat) #26 11/28/1970

The last hit from Canned Heat was a rockin’ blues number done first by Wilbert Harrison as “Let’s Stick Together” in 1962. Wilbert re-did the song with new lyrics and a new title in early 1970; Canned Heat deferred releasing their version out of respect for Harrison. This take did better, but co-lead singer Alan Wilson died several months earlier from a rumored suicide. Video is from the UK’s “Top Of The Pops.”
