And from later that same year, please enjoy a relatively faithful cover of said song, albeit one that sounds rather a little too much like something you might have heard over a fruity rum drink at Trader Vic's...
...and I positively guarantee that you'll never in a million years guess who's the singer or the band.
Seriously -- it blew my tiny mind, and I'm not a young woman.
In any case, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize etc. etc. etc....

Mitch Ryder
Yes, and from an album I'd never heard until Sal posted a zip, where he's backed by Booker T and the MGs.
The rest of the album is really great Memphis soul, and definitely worth listening to, but this kind of....sucks, for want of a better word.

This is a No_Prize I don't mind not winning.
Know it well. From The Detroit-Memphis Experiment, originally on Dot Records IIRC. Wonderful LP.
