Dottie Cambridge He's About a Mover

If it was a hit on the pop charts for the Sir Douglas Quintet, producer Huey Meaux figured he could just alter the arrangement and lyrics to do the same on the R&B charts. Speed it up to an almost ridiculously fast pace, add some catchy horns and let Cambridge shout about a man instead of a woman.

While the Crazy Cajun clearly had a good idea on his hands with the recharged version, the single never garnered much airtime on the radio and failed to be a mover off the record store shelves.

Cambridge would later rechristen herself Dorothy Moore in the seventies and find her place on the charts with "Misty Blue."

Absolute monster version! But man oh man do you need a quality dancefloor to make it work - this one spins lesser dancers right off to the edges.
