Album Notes & Community Reviews
Clocking in at under two minutes, this incredibly concise, brass-driven pop-soul track was an instant, massive international hit. It is primarily notable for introducing the astonishingly gritty, incredibly mature gravel-voiced baritone of lead singer Alex Chilton, who was only sixteen at the time of recording.
