This is a killer album, a bit like Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley's late-60s funky albums on Chess. Tracks like "Bad Luck" and "If There's A Will There's A Way" are so good you won't believe you haven't heard them before!
Don Covay was one of the leading figures in the 1960s soul music explosion, who clearly and directly inspired the vocal stylings of rock 'n' roll legends like Mick Jagger and Eric Burdon, and worked as composer and producer with the likes of Chubby Checker and Aretha Franklin.
In the 1950s, Covay was a member of the doo wop act The Rainbows, a DC institution that at various times had also featured soul legends Billy Stewart and Marvin Gaye.
Covay was raised and began his performing and recording careers in DC, and maintained lifelong family connections to the city.
