Woke up with this bit of Dusty in Memphis, written by Eddie Hinton and Donnie Fritts for Dusty Springfield’s weird and wonderful classic, in my head.
But before I knew Dusty’s original I’d heard Lorna Bennett’s 1972 reggae version, from the This is Reggae Music Vol. 1 compilation. Those drums kill and Lorna charms.
On a later volume of This is Reggae Music there was this remix, with the toaster Scotty adding his signature to the tune, released as Skank in Bed.
Good morning.
