Music by the Funkin' Soulnuts, produced and recorded by Dave Haynie. This song was written by Don Covay, and made famous by Aretha Franklin. Released as a single in 1967, it spent four weeks as #2 on the R&B charts, and hit #3 on the Pop charts in 1968. It won the Grammy for best Female Vocal Performance that year, and later a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. The Soul Nuts version is unique in that it's actually a "chain" in performance, as the singers trade off leads. 

The Funkin' Soul Nuts are a 10-piece band playing in the Princeton, NJ area. In May of 2012, I brought my 16-track "mobile studio" out to their practice space, and made this recording, "live in the studio" style. Recorded on a Tascam US-1800 using Reaper, mixed on Vegas.
