About the song[]
Written by Sir Mack Rice in 1965, this is an R&B/straight-forward blues song which gained greater popularity when it was covered by Wilson Pickett on a single the following year.
According to music historian Tom Shannon, the song started as a joke when Della Reese's band leader wanted a new Ford Mustang.
Andy Taylor's version was recorded at the Trident II Studios in London, during the summer of 1990 for his second solo studio album Dangerous.
