DIG MY WHAMMY BAR BABY

Man, I can't get enough of this one. "Prancing" by Ike and Tina's Kings of Rhythm, which on this cut was minus Tina, because it's an instrumental. A guitar instrumental with some sufficiently tweaked playing, and intermittent whammy bar flare. The horns are really cool too. This is one of those instrumentals that despite the repetitiveness, keeps you guessing; you don't really want it to end. That doesn't happen nowadays.

The strange thing: The instrumental is the A-side, th vocal number with Tina Turner is the flip, That doesn't happen often. Usually instrumentals are put on the B-side. Said flip, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", is just as badass as "Prancing". The two together on the same record is just about everything you'd want out of a 45.
