RIP Benny Spellman

I know the name will be meaningless to most on Accyweb, but for the connoisseurs, RIP the great New Orleans vocalist, Benny Spellman. Here's his classic - much covered, but never bettered... :cool:

Not sure about the Stones but I've got it on an LP by a group called The Downliners Sect recorded in 1966.:)

Wonder what happened to them? OK I'll google it.:D
