  • Can you believe what they did to this all time classic

    King re-releases "Have Mercy Baby" with some added background stuff in 1960.

    Horrible but unsurprising. I've heard what King did to the 1961 reissue of the Five Royales' "Dedicated To The One I Love."

    I actually like that one, with the high tenor added.

    This one sucks though:

    Since Clyde's lead and the instrumental break make up 99% of what is great about the original, and
    those are basically unchanged in the re-release, this version is still a 10, just not as high of a
    10.

    The female chorus alone drops it below a 10 IMO. I'd say it's an 8 like this.
