Mustang Sally

One of the first record albums I encountered as a kid was an album by the Young Rascals. One of the hit singles from the album was the song "Mustang Sally". I didn't find out until much later that the song was a cover of the Wilson Picket hit from a couple years earlier. And MUCH later, in 1991, Chicago's own Buddy Guy did a blistering cover of the tune on his album "Damn Right I Got the Blues". It showed me that sometimes musical history lessons arrive in a sort of circular fashion.
