Notes[edit]

Harrison recorded for the Fire and Fury labels, which were owned and operated by Bobbie Robertson at his Harlem record shop. Harrison's records are especially notable for the presence of the brilliant guitarist Wild Jimmy Spruill, whose solo on "Kansas City" is one of the most memorable in the history of Rock & Roll.

Correction: Let's Work Together (Part 1)[edit]

According to the 8th Edition of the Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits, it was "Let's Work Together (Part 1)" that was the #32 hit for Wilbert Harrison in January 1970 on the Sue label. A footnote below that listing mentions (first recorded by Harrison as "Let's Stick Together" in 1962.), but "Let's Stick Together" is not listed as a Top 40 hit.

You're correct Gary, "Let's Stick Together" was a different song that Harrison recorded in 1962 that had a very similar melody and some of the same lyrics his late 1960's recording "Let's Work Together" would utilize. It was Harrison himself who reworked "Let's Stick Together" into "Let's Work Together," which had lyrics more in common with the late 60's ethos. Listening to the two songs, "Let's Stick Together" is almost like a first draft. Canned Heat covered Harrison's reworking, they did not rework "Let's Stick Together" themselves. Does anyone know how to change this? - TW — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.8.117.34 (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
