The great Don Covay has passed away @ the age of 78. Maybe a little off topic for what is generally discussed here, but he was a great songwriter & vocalist.

The author of "Pony Time", "See Saw", Mercy, Mercy", "Chain Of Fools" & "Sookie Sookie" amongst others and part of that roster of great soul singers along with Arthur Conley, Joe Tex & Solomon Burke. It's hard to listen to the "Out Of Our Heads" Rolling Stones era without hearing the influence Covay had on Mr. Jagger's vocal phrasings.

But even cooler are his early rockers...
