This item not eligible for any further discount offers!

Hammond B3 organist Big John Patton's 1966 soul jazz manifesto Got a Good Thing Goin' was a showcase for the deep rapport between Patton and guitarist Grant Green who had appeared on all of Patton's prior Blue Note dates from his 1963 debut Along Came John to the 1965 classic Let 'Em Roll. Here the dynamic duo are backed by Hugh Walker on drums and Richard Landrum on congas for a five-song set of unrelenting soul power. Side A kicks off with the Patton-Green originals 'The Yodel' and 'Soul Woman' while Side B presents versions of Duke Pearson's 'Amanda,' Sam Cooke's 'The Shake,' and the Marvin Gaye hit 'Ain't That Peculiar' which was penned by Smokey Robinson.
