If you had to pick the grooviest song by dynamite Stax soul duo Sam & Dave, what would be your poison? Soothe Me, Soul Man, I Take What I Want maybe? I Can´t Stand Up For Falling Down perhaps, You Got Me Hummin´, or I Thank You?
It´s a tough one, but - maybe because of the infectious horns - I´d go for Wrap It Up, which came out as the flip side of their ´67 I Thank You single. Only goes to show how sure of themselves these guys were at the time, as anyone in their right mind would have released this funky gem some time later as an A side to score yet another well-deserved hit. "I know I've got the best thing in town, baby..."
