This Betty Harris take on the Lee Dorsey classic has real "entering city limits at a steady clip with the windows down" vibes:
Toussaint getting uncharacteristically loose on the pee-ann-err (he knew the song well, so why not?). Members of the Meters as backing band (need I say more?). And the added refrain at the end doubles down on the main hook to brilliant effect.
If just once in my life I was gonna cave in and overpay for a RSD release, this Soul Jazz "Ninja Turtles green" double LP of Betty Harris's best was as good a candidate as any.
