Otis did a cool cover of it. Otis could do no wrong, though.

I'd like to hear the cover of Try Me they cut at Chess in 64.

Not very good, yet somehow Flowers wouldn't be the same without it.

True, it would be a bit better.

A Loog Oldham/ABKCO idea to cash in on the U.S. market. Probably an outtake, with added string section. Totally forgettable.

Maybe this way of singing about girls fits them better?

Smokey's follow up to Mary Well's -- My Guy that was released earlier in '64
My Girl was written with David Ruffin in mind to handle lead vocals..
Smokey recorded it himself in '69...and also covered by other Motown artists ...Earl Van Dyke ...Marvin Gaye...Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson ...

Mmmm-walking the dog is hardly soul is it? Classic 12 bar rock n roll if you ask me-Stones version anyway. Very underrated stones cover inmho, dog whistles notwithstanding. Ditto it's all over now- not a 12 bar but it rocks rather than souls. And Mona for that matter

[ I said soul/r'n'b - pay attention!
And Walkin' The Dog ain't rock'n'roll, it's the bouncing rhythm and bass line that makes it r'n'b.]
Its a fine line between R&B and Rock n Roll of course. Depends how its played as well. Is Mona r&b or Rock n Roll? One of the best versions of that song is Quicksilver (live) off the Happy Trails album. Pure Rock n Roll!

Where is the no-strings version of this song? Has it ever been released on a boot?
