great RARE EARTH gig footage,the worst is i remember most of these "obscure groups"SPOOKY TOOTH 2nd

I'm too overwhelmed to decide on these right now. Too many great choices!

Funny thing, I've been trying to find something to get Spooky Tooth into the O vs C, and just hadn't found what I liked yet. Always loved the album You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw, and had originally hoped for something like "Cotton Growing Man".

This will do, but no vote yet!

Edit- Ok, don't laugh at me, ever though I'm laughing a little myself, but I think I like the cover by The Nashville Teens best.

Quickly narrowed it down to the original, Spooky Tooth and Rare Earth. Of the three, Spooky Tooth was the first eliminated out of those. In the end I think Rare Earth is the last version standing.

This Spooky Tooth fan may be long in the tooth now, 'cause I've loved them since before they had a U.S. label and I had to import their stuff.

Seems like that was only...

So, with the deck stacked that much in their favor, it's no wonder my vote for best version here goes to...

Spooky Tooth, please!

The Nashville Teens

Followed by John D Loudermilk.

It was a tough call for me between the original and the Johnny Winter version. Went with Johnny.

Johnny Winter.

Nashville Teens. I searched out the 45 single after moving to FLA back in the late 80s.
