881.Canned Heat - Let's Work Together Formed in 1965 and still performing today Canned Heat had 4 charting singles. This one peaked at #2 in 1970, kept of the top spot by Edison Lighthouse.
This song was a cover version of a song by Wilbert Harrison who recorded it originally in 1962 but then had a US hit with it in 1969. Canned Heat's cover was out around the same time, and I think them covering it inspired the original to be re-released. Dave Edmonds had been planning to cover it too but due to Canned Heat's version, decided to cover a similar song instead and go for "I Hear You Knocking"...
Later on Bryan Ferry would cover the song. He changed the title but the famous "riff" involving the same note repeated multiple times is there in the original but not the Canned Heat version.
