The Monkees ~ Goin' Down

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

As a former member of the Mickey Dolenz Fan Club, you can bet this was one of my favorite songs.

I still have the 45 RPM. Backed with "Randy Scouse Git", I think.

You know, you could mix this song and "Alphabet Street" together and have a pretty good jam.

I might try to work on that as a guitar piece.

Micky's idol was James Brown, and he would do his impression (with cape) during Monkees concerts with this song.
