I just don't hear this great tune enough, so I've socked a clip into the "jukebox" ... I'll admit I didn't learn to love this one until after hearing Nick Lowe's version, circa 1979. But after that, I discovered the Sandy Posey original, which is a very special slice of southern girl-pop bliss. From the American Studios in Memphis, Chips Moman conjured more than a little bit of magic from Posey's vocals and a simple, but powerful arrangement... just as he had with James Carr and "Dark End of the Street," and many, many others. This isn't the only magic he conjured from Sandy Posey, either. If you like this one as much as I do, you'll find that most of her other MGM singles are well worth seeking out. Collector Nerd Alert: For those of you keeping track, here's another just-over-2-minute classic: It times at 2:06. Talk about brilliant! Note: This copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels, and the vinyl looks untouched. The audio is very close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives... this copy does not have a drillhole.)
