Songfacts®:

• This Watson composition was covered by Steve Miller, who alludes to it in his song "The Joker" with the line, "Some call me the gangster of love."
• There is extant video footage of a performance by Watson and his band in Bremen, Germany, 1977. After introducing it, with a bow, and capo at the third fret, he makes his guitar sing like a police siren. The soloing is sparse thereafter, when a horn section comes in. Watson was as much showman as performer, and played up to his audience, even in the studio. >>>
