John Mellencamp ~ Ain't Even Done With the Night 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 | |

This was right before he hit the big time with 'American Fool' in 1982.Silly video but cool song,lol.
I think he was still 'Johnny Cougar' when this was released. Then it was shortened to 'John Cougar'. Those dancers were his band at the time.

It always blows me away that this song is his. It just seems like one of those old hits from the 60s.
I used to WORSHIP him in the Uh-huh/Scaarecrow/Lonesome Jubilee/Big Daddy years.
It's crazy how many hits he has accumulated over the years yet he still seems to fly a bit under the radar. | |

Probably because he's never really been interested in the showbiz thing. Other than dating models.
