Now this is awesome

i think teddy vann's bazillion uses of the frankie and the classicals "what should I do" backing has been established here as the most backing track recycling

Lonnie Youngblood's 'Sweet Sweet Tootie' on Turbo is also a version of this rhythm (although, like the Willie and West, it's on a recut of the Hesitations, rather than the original rhythm)

That Willie & West is really good. Thanks for posting.

Have you more background on this Bob?

no, other people have more background but have asked me about it. i have had multiple people ask me for a copy of the 45 and several people insisting that it does exist. I am really into collecting stang/turbo/all platinum/vibration/etc. but there is so much weird rare stuff on the label that it's very possible some weird press exists. you'd think it would be on someone's DJ playlist at this point though.

Not forgetting this one, on another recut of the same basic track:

You lot know loads of stuff!

I always liked the way Mr Kerr recycled the strings on the intro to these two tracks:

As well as recycling tunes, he liked to keep it in the family too, producing tunes for both daughters Tracy and sandy
