It's just dawned on me that the riff on 'Looking for a woman' is very very similar to the Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction'. What year was the Brooks Brothers record released? Keith Richards claims to have dreamt that riff and woke up and recorded it...

What about Nothing You Can Do by Bobby Womack - based entirely around the Satisfaction riff - but apparently because the Stones recorded and had a hit with Womack's It's All Over Now.

Yes, that's another one. Did the Stones' version predate the Bobby Womack?

And I'm still looking for a year for the Brooks Brothers!

I've got a ska record which uses the Satisfaction riff as well - The Clarendonians - You can't keep me down (Island)...great track

Rolling Stones I believe - by a very short head...Willie Mitchell's UK release was at the end of '65, US slightly earlier.
