2020 - Pushing up the daisies

The song was written and recorded by Jackie Edwards originally, he was black.

I think that he wrote it for the Spencer Davis Group and recorded it himself later.

He was working and songwriting for Island Records in the early to mid-60's and SDG were signed to Island.
 
Ah right, I stand corrected.

I might be wrong actually. Spencer Davis Group definitely released it as a single first (theirs was 65 and Edwards 66) but it was on an Edwards album released in 65 and I think that came out first. He was a songwriter at Island though, so it might have been intended for SDG.
 
Tough little sod he was, blind as a bat without his contact lenses and would kick everything that moved. Never forget the little jig he did when we lifted the Worlds Cup.

RIP

I never got the admiration for him, very limited player who was lucky enough to fit into to Ramseys Robots.
