  1. Hi!

    Thanx for this one. A comment on his wiki page about "Big Bird" song:

    "The song "Big Bird" (featuring Booker T. Jones on organ and guitar, Al Jackson, Jr. on drums, and Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass) was written while Floyd waited in a London airport for a plane back to the United States for Otis Redding's funeral. Although not a US hit, it became an underground favorite, was later covered by Alex Chilton, The Jam, and several others, sampled by Transglobal Underground in the track "Jatayu," and was featured on the video game Test Drive Unlimited."

    Cheers!
    Ciao! For now.

  2. Excellente compilation du grand Eddie Floyd. "Big Bird" est magnifique et se démarque de son style habituel.
