'Little' Milton Campbell had been a respected blues singer and guitarist
for years before turning to more soul-oriented material in the early 60's;
this was his most successful (#25, 5/65) of several R&B singles. He has
long since returned to the blues, and is still active as a performer in
that style. -- AWR
