@Charles_Hawtrey Was that YouTube link supposed to be Steely Dan's "Third World Man"?
@nealfig Nope, just a little added info. The first one I ever heard was The Buckingham's version which I thought was the original until much later on. I did link that to something else I posted.
@nealfig
In February of 1967, Johnny “Guitar” Watson & Larry Williams wrote lyrics to Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, scoring a hit on the R & B charts, also the Buckinghams had a big pop hit with the same lyrics a little later in 1967
