Thanks to @Cavedweller71 ..This was just too great not to be heard and seen by more people...original song from 1965, this video was made in 1999 filmed in a trucking area in Las Vegas. Ray Pollard had lost an arm, and had a prosthestic limb, was also an actor and apparently became quite prolific when a one armed man was required. He was in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford, but sadly died in 2005.   21

An untypical Northern Soul tune but one of my absolute favourites. The arrangement is perfect and Ray must have lungs the size of a house to get to some of those notes.
