  • David K from San DiegoA shout out to Fats Domino and American R&B.
  • Akachukwu from Ago Palace Way Okota Lago StateI love the song so much
  • Carol from WoodburyTo me the song is about the protest dynamics of the 60's. An example is the domino affect of the race wars following the slaying of Martin Luther King (or the current rioting after the police slay a black man).

    It was track one of side one from his album "His Band and the Street Choir"; the album reached #32 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart...
    Two other songs from the album made the Top 100; "Blue Money" (#23) and "Call Me Up In Dreamland" (#95)...
    Mr. Morrison celebrated his 68th birthday four months ago on August 31st.
  • Bill from Pensacola, FlI think this song is about a man that needs to break up with someone and that doesn't want to explain it, discuss it, debate it, just forget about it and listen to the music that takes him away, Turn UP the Rythym and Blues, sing it Fats.
