Johnny Rivers - The Snake

The northern soul classic version was a minor hit for Al Wilson but Johnny Rivers produced it and here's his take on the song. Johnny ran the Whiskey A Go Go house band in the early sixties and was a bit of a mover and shaker on the L.A. scene. Huge in America and a bit of a personal favorite of mine he never realy registered on the U.K. radar maybe 'cos he was a tad "showbiz" often donning the tux' for t.v. appearances.
