(Click logo for shop)
A single "Bip Bop Bip" was released on Atlantic and produced by Little Richard, on which Covay was billed as "Pretty Boy". It also featured his backing band the Upsetters. Over the next few years Covay drifted from label to label, but a further dance-oriented track called "Popeye Waddle" was a hit in 1962. He also wrote the US #1 single "Pony Time" for Chubby Checker. Covay meanwhile honed his songwriting skills by penning a hit for Solomon Burke, "I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You", while Gladys Knight & The Pips reached the US Top 20 with "Letter Full of Tears".
Covay's singing career continued to falter until 1964, when he signed to the Rosemart label. His debut single there with the Goodtimers, "Mercy Mercy" (accompanied by a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar), established his earthy bluesy style. Atlantic bought his contract, but, while several R&B hits followed, it was a year before Covay returned to the pop chart. "See Saw", co-written with Steve Cropper and recorded at Stax, paved the way for more hits.
Don Covay's songs still remain successful: Aretha Franklin won a Grammy for her performance of his composition "Chain of Fools". He is a legendary composer and singer, best known for his R&B classic compositions "Mercy Mercy", "Chain of Fools", "See Saw" and "Sookie Sookie". Covay had success as a singer as Don Covay and The Goodtimers, and his compositions have been recorded by such varied artists as Steppenwolf, Bobby Womack, The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, The Small Faces, and many more.

AUDIO QUALITY
When grading the audio quality of an LP, we listen to a sample of every track : Sam and I are committed to giving as much detailed information in our listings. However, due to the amount of records that we list each week, we can not possibly listen to every LP in full. As our feedback suggests, we have a reputation for honesty & are trusted by collectors around the world, and if on the rare occasion our grading doesn't represent the condition, we operate a full refund policy (see details below)
A Side
EXCELLENT
B Side
EXCELLENT
In places there is some faint background popping. However this does not in anyway spoil the audio delivered by Don Covay which still sounds very special.
