Joey Gilmore was predominantly a blues man but did cut a few soul/funk records early in his career. This is his first 45 released on Miami independent label Saadia owned by Frank & Martha Williams. Frank Williams was part of The Rocketeers with Willie Hale who backed Helene Smith on Thrills & Chills on Lloyd.
