It's not quite "He's So Fine"/"My Sweet Lord."

But still...

hmmm. now its one of my favorite Bruce tunes, but wow, Bruce could you have changed the lyrics or title at least . Wilson Pickett's version is Back in Your Arms Again.

The first one sounds a lot like stand by me, whereas bruce's does not - for whatever THATS worth

Ok, I'll preface this by saying I'm not in a space to listen to the songs. That being said, one of the things about any art is that people cop ideas all the time.

Bruce, Picasso, Elmore Leonard, Eric Clapton, et al.

I remember the snit we all got in over the KISS/Bruce thing on the last LP. Well, that got me into the rest of the album (thanks Burning Wood), and now I think of the LP as one of his best.

Jeez, if we were going to worry about where they get the idea for a song, we'd have no fun enjoying them.

A large chunk of Bruce's first three albums derives from The Kit Kats "Won't Find Better Than Me," popular in the Philly/Jersey shore area in late 69.

I'm not kidding about this...it's jaw dropping. Listen and be changed.

I never thought "He's So Fine"/"My Sweet Lord" was quite so "He's So Fine"/"My Sweet Lord" so what do I know
