A song you like that’s a by another artist:

“Take a Giant Step” - — song written by & for the & released as B side to “Last Train to Clarksville” August 1966. Taj Mahal *cover* was released in 1969.

So… is it really a “cover” or just another artist having a go at a King/Goffin song?

Taj’s daughter Deva also covered Giant Step in 2018. Lucky me has seen both Mahals perform it live!
