An eclectic mixture of Soul, Rock 'n' Roll, Pop, R&B and Rock gems from the pen of the multi-talented Don Covay. Covay was raised and began his performing and recording careers in DC, and maintained lifelong family connections to the city.

A successful recording artist in his own right, Covay made his biggest mark as the writer of songs for other performers. During his time as an Atlantic Records artist he supplied material for some of the company's biggest stars, including Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Wilson Pickett, all featured here.
