But man what a soul singer. This one is my favorite:
"Everybody Needs Love" is a great one as well.
The Drive-By Truckers recently recorded a fine cover version of "Everybody Needs Love" played here live in June 2011:
Hinton's own recordings never got their due, perhaps the world not being ready for a white soul singer that real and raw. He was as talented a songwriter as he was a vocalist and guitar player, the best known of Hinton's songs being "Breakfast in Bed", the Dusty Springfield classic, covered by many including Jamaican singer Lorna Bennett, who transformed it into a reggae classic.
Hinton died of a heart attack in 1995 at the age of just 51. We celebrate his birth and great music today.
