Greetings all.

Today’s certified banger has been steaming up my crates for a long time.

I first heard Dottie Cambridge’s distaff take on the Sir Douglas Quintet’s ‘(S)He’s About a Mover’ back in the day on the fantastic ‘Pow City!’ comp.

I was already inclined to dig it as a huge SDQ fan, but when I heard Dottie Cambridge and band lay into it, speeding it up and adding that crazy organ, I had to find myself a copy of the 45 (which I did in short order).

Interestingly enough, Dottie Cambridge was in fact Dorothy Moore, who went on to have a huge hit with ‘Misty Blue’ in the 70s. As far as I can tell this was her first solo 45, after recording as part of the Poppies forEpic.

‘He’s About a Mover’ was released in 1967 and produced by Huey Meaux, who produced the original by the Sir Douglas Quintet two years before.

It’s a hot, hot 45 and a dance floor mover, and might set you back a little bit more these days (than it cost me way back when).

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith
