Although my understanding is that King Curtis' sax is the one prominently featured in this instrumental Top 40 hit from 1967, my original 45 (Atco 6516) shows the artist of this song only as "The Kingpins". Also, my 45 has a listed time of (2:48), but an actual time of (2:44).

Just a "heads-up" for Pat...the database shows the times as (3:48) and (3:44) rather than the correct (2:48) and (2:44).

if you fade the stereo 2:48 version for 0:05 from 2:39 to
2:44 you can effectively re-create the vinyl 45
version....
