Don't Forget Jack Tempchin!  (see: Funky Kings)

from whom Johnny Rivers really did  "borrow" "Slow Dancin' (Swayin' to the Music)".  I remember playing the orig version on my college station, lamenting the fact that it didn't become a hit -- so I was thrilled when the Rivers version actually went somewhere.

Powers-for-Annalisa gives us Stevie's "Golden Lady" as the bonus. Niiiiiice.

I just mentioned Jack Tempchin the other day re: Take It Easy.  He wrote Slow Dancin' which is on the historic Funky Kings album, which I can't find on CD.  I have the vinyl.

Well, I'm guessing it's a combination of senility and confusion due to the interface.  I guess I always resented the Rivers version, as I really loved the Funky Kings version!
