Ladies and Gentlemen..... Alvin Robinson



With a voice as smooth as fresh churned butter and a backup band as rich as Texas tycoons, Alvin Robinson as a Soul songster with the voice that an knock back women a hundred rows back. I have heard this song first from the back country bluegrass revival group Old Crow Medicine Show. They did a great version of it but it doesn't sound as cool and collective as Robinson's version. There are no words that can explain the voice of Alvin Robinson and why he wasn't as big as he should have been boggles the mind. Just listen and sit back and be taken away to a 1960s jazz club. Where smoke, sex and sweat lingers in the air and probably still does.
