I'd forgotten about the band. Weren't they the first successful Mexican-American outfit?

I'd also forgotten that the original was by Chris Kenner in 1963.

That's them. Wilson Pickett got in on that one too. I knew there was that Kenner original, but I don't think I've ever listened to it. The Pickett version is the one I'm used to.

True, but Valenes was more Rock and Roll. The Headhunters cultural difference has also been noted as their decline in popularity, as producers were afraid to sell that image

I was thinking that. But if you get a chance they keep it article

Bought this for $10 at the BB outlet. In San Diego we have one at both North and South ends and a regular BB store in La Jolla, but no Ivy Leauge schools.

My fave Wilson Pickett song Is Let me be your boy, used to play it a lot when I DJayed. Just suffering in bed at the moment with my second case of Covid, much worse than the first.

Cheers mate. I had my first case of Covid for the last ten days, and finally tested negative yesterday. I was lucky, it wasn’t too strong but very tiring.
I hope you will recover soon !
Best !

I hope you get feeling better soon Sir. I never heard that song until I just looked it up. That's a ska rhythm if I've ever heard one

Hope you guys make a full recovery with no lasting 'long' symptoms.
Lost a godsister and my GP of 35 years to this.
Sad to hear of the passing of R Dean Taylor due to Covid. There's a ghost in his house, and unfortunately it's himself.
On a lighter note, my fave Wicked Pickett track is Engine #9 :

The utility of pockets on specific items of clothing is lost on me. I carry the exact same stuff in the exact same pockets whenever I leave the house, so if I was to use pockets on a cardigan, waistcoat, cargo pants/shorts etc (three items I don’t own and don’t expect ever to own!!) then what would I do with my gear on the days I WASN’T wearing said items? The answer is put it back in the pockets I use every day! (Wallet rear right, phone rear left, keys front left, pocket handkerchief front right!)

The only use for pockets on a cardigan is for when you become a grandad to keep a bag of toffees in there to lash out when the bairns come round. That’s what my ol’ pop used to do!?

I like the look of cardigan pockets, but anything I put there gets forgotten, so I don't use them much. What really throws me off is trousers with only one back pocket (i.e., some of my suits and my Barbour moleskin trousers). These days I carry a foldable KN95 mask in back left; phone back right; lighter, lip balm, miniature Sharpie, and money clip front left; slim pocket knife front right. Taking away the back left clutters another pocket even more.

I think the massive phones most of us carry these days look ridiculous in trouser pockets, especially in the front. More reason to wear a suit jacket or Harrington, I guess. The phone sure doesn't fit in the pockets of any of my cardigans.

Adding my best wishes for a swift recovery, Yorky. And I'm sorry for your losses, Inkss.
