Scratch My Back

Slim Harpo (the Great) never made the top of the pop charts, but in 1966 he hit Number One on the R&B charts with Baby Scratch My Back. It lives on as a standard of the Blues/Rhythm & Blues repertoire (and you're likely to hear it performed when the BirdDogBlues band plays: see below).

Slim's big hit also lives on as good advice. Make someone happy and give 'em a little back scratch. If it's a canine friend, a belly rub might be good, too.
