My only problem with Jimmy Castor‘s “Hey, Leroy”, released in late ’66, is that it only plays for 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Castor should have recorded a 10-minute house version.
Castor, who passed in January 2012 at age 71, was a saxophonist. The Jimmy Castor Bunch included keyboardist/trumpeter Gerry Thomas, bassist Douglas Gibson, guitarist Harry Jensen, guitarist / sitarist Jeffrey Grimes, conga and triangle player Lenny Fridie, Jr., and drummers Elwood Henderson, Jr., and Bobby Manigault.
The rhythm guitar in “Let Me Go” is heavenly, by the way.
