Good to see this track posted again.
Most folks (only familiar with his 70s period) have no idea that this guy has been killin' it since the 50s. A few more from his early career... ...Gangster of Love ...Three Hours Past Midnight ...Too Tired ...Half Pint of Whiskey Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

It took me a loooong time since I tracked down this song since I heard it for the 1st time in the Whats Love Got To Do With It movie....
On a non-musical note, I never noticed how handsome Johnny Watson was 
As for his later years, this song is ALWAYS a fave.... [Edited 2/14/10 11:46am] | |

Yeah all those songs are great. What is really interesting about JGW is how he fit right in with any scene that was happening. He was truly an unsung hero as far as rock, funk and blues is concerned. | |
