Song for Feb 8th is "Mustang Sally"
Some Wikipedia facts,
"Mustang Sally" is a rhythm and blues (R&B) song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965.[1] It was released on the Blue Rock label (4014) in May 1965 with "Sir Mack Rice" as the artist.[2] The song uses an AAB layout with a 24-bar structure.[3]
It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version that was also released on the 1966 album, The Wicked Pickett.[4] Also in 1966, John Lee Hooker recorded an entirely different song with a similar title — "Mustang Sally & GTO".
Some Mr. V facts,
This will be a nice addition with our growing horn section. This fun tune was often referred to as Auburn's "National Anthem" by Blue Lights leader, Sam Giangreco, because it was requested and played so frequently at gigs. My bands were often asked to play it several times in the same gig if some arrived late and didn't hear it played the first time.
Below is a YouTube link to a great version from The Commitments, a fiction band from a great movie.
There is a chart in the Dropbox folder. We will study the 7th chords and the 24 bar format. It also has some fun improvisational elements.
