about

Written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus.

This is an exception – I have covered this song before. I don’t feel like I do the best or most definitive version, but I do feel like it always works. This song can be as big or small as needed. I first knew Nina Simone’s version and I suppose the Animals’ version is bound to inform everyone’s impression – it’s so iconic. There is a real machismo in this song; it’s a total non-apology and in the Animals version it almost borders on threatening. The simple message wallows in waters somewhere between self-absorption and genuine affection.
