 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers

 

 This came out on Chess (actually Checker 1129), but Bobby Moore and the

 Rhythm Aces weren't from Chicago; they were actually from Birmingham and

 recorded this at Muscle Shoals. Chess had been leasing sides since the

 early 50s (most notably from Sam Phillips at Sun) and merely picked this

 up for national distribution. However, its success (#1 R&B, #27 pop) -

 not to mention that of subsequent Atlantic acts (Percy Sledge, Wilson

 Pickett, and Aretha Franklin) who recorded at Muscle Shoals - encouraged

 Chess to start recording many of their own artists (particularly Etta
James)

 there.

 

 Bobby Moore, incidentally, was bandleader and saxist; the lead vocal was

 actually by guitarist Chico Jenkins. -- AWR
