Phew. That ends my 626 song slow and mid-tempo playlist review.

Next posts will be some cover versions of various songs to be compared to the original, or sometimes better, versions. A short post.

After that will be some way up-tempo, often Northern Soul, "stompers". That playlist is only 40 or so songs. Too fast to post before...

is this the original X ?....im familiar with the Wilson Pickett version....this is "rougher" and "earthier" whearas Wilson.s version is fuller and smoother....both are great versions
Bailey's was released in 1971, according to YouTube. I couldn't find info on Pickett's version, but I imagine it was earlier.

Correction. Pickett's version was the "b" side of the "Mini-Skirt Minnie" single from 1969. So Bailey's version was a "cover". I agree...both are great!
