We've already had one slice of great Memphis R&B from Willie Mitchell, so how about another.
Bad Eye (b/w Sugar T) was released as a single in 1966 and managed to sneak into the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 92. The song was also included on the LP It's What's Happenin'. The MP3 is taken from the 45.
Bad Eye
Bad Eye is available on several CD compilations, the best of which is Poppa Willie: The Hi Years 1962-74. As well, the 1966 LP It's What's Happenin' is also out on CD. You can view the full range of Willie Mitchell CDs at Amazon.
Bad Eye isn't available as a download.
From YouTube here's Mitchell's 1965 recording of The Champion accompanied by a superb photo slide show.
