Humble Pie grabbed "I Don't Need No Doctor", an R&B song from the pen of Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson and Jo Armstead that had been kicking around since 1966, and cut their own version in 1971. The band produced it themselves, with Eddie Kramer engineering and Dave Palmer assisting.
It paid off on the singles charts too: their take climbed to 73 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 72 in Canada.
