Syl Johnson, "Take Me To The River" (1975)

Al Green’s song, but one of the best covers ever.

Talking Heads had a pretty good cover too!

I love Talking Heads, but I heard Syl’s version first, back in the 70s. I didn’t realize Al Green originally wrote it ! For me Syl’s harmonica was the perfect ingredient ! 😄

I am sorry to report that my primary association with this song is with something our daughter had on the wall of her room when she was little! 😅
