Bryan Ferry named his 1976 album Let's Stick Together after this song, a Wilbert Harrison number first issued on Fury Records in 1962: a mid-tempo twelve-bar R&B tune that never troubled the charts in its first life. Ferry's version did what the original couldn't and became a hit.
The fun is in the mismatch. Harrison's song is built from plain, sturdy blues parts, and Ferry runs it through his cool, arched-eyebrow delivery until the plea sounds half urgent, half amused.
