Wilson Pickett - Mojo Mama Lyrics

Would any one like to buy his record

32 miles outta waitrose

Sound Dimension did an excellent version for Studio One called "Mojo Rock Steady".

I agree with bman342a...that entrance brass was immediately recognizable, and so spot on that I started singing:  and then became a little startled to soon discover I wasn't singing the right song!!  Great song here....I just hope all those writing credits were dispersed properly.  In the meantime....this song was a surprise to me....and helped me to get my "Mojo werkin' "

Paul Ballenger - have you (or Eddie Hinton) got a copy of the Don Varner version I could buy?  Just eMail me: [email protected]

+Ryvita - Sorry for the tardy reply.   I don't have any copies of any records on which Eddie and I wrote, co-produced, published, co-published, played on, sang on, etc.  All were given away, stolen, pirated, and/or mysteriously evaporated.

My dad had one of just 2 copies of "Tearstained Face" in the early 70s. Huge money these days!

Don Varner's version is on YouTube though the Hoagy Lands original is not!

You are exactly on target. Eddie Hinton & I later produced this song, performed by Don Varner, for South Camp Records with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (aka Swampers). Several months after Varner's version was released, "25 Miles" was a hit.

Thanks for posting. "25 Miles" by Edwin Starr (who performed, and has writing credit along with 4-5 others), was clearly a rip-off of this song (which was originally recorded as "32 Miles out of Waycross" by Hoagy Lands. 25 Miles became a huge hit for Motown, that the original writers eventually shared writing credit because of the similarity.
