EDDIE BO & INEZ CHEATHAM
Lover And A Friend
(Capitol P-2150; 1967)

This is the major label version of a 45 released locally in New Orleans on Seven-B (bottom right).  This green label promo 45 (left) was used by Shadow in Brainfreee, as soon in The Last Brainfreeze footage.  The 45 also exists in the Capitol stock yellow/orange swirl (in two known variations, possibly due to being pressed at different plants).  "Inez Cheatham" is actually New Orleans vocalist Mary Jane Hooper.

The intro break has been sampled by Luscious Jackson ("Keep On Rockin'") and more recently heard in television commercials for UPS, Tampax, and in the theme to the U.S. TV show Blind Date.
