119: twice as nice part 10

Hi.
Today another one in those twice as nice series.
The 2 Eric Burdon songs came from the same album,
a really, really enjoyable album I still like very much.
Anybody knew that a young, unknown guitarist played on it?
Called Andy Summers? In 1968 he was 'only' 25 or 26 or so.
Nine years later, in 1977 they started that "other band".
Light My Fire is ofcourse done a million times,
just as Stand By Me for that matter.
I really like the Herbie Mann version,
just listen for yerselves!
Maybe a 'bitchin' idea is to do your odd
all-Stones-version comp sometime?

I like what you do. There are 2 categories that I think you'd enjoy for future posts:
1. " How Bad Is Your Stutter? ":
songs like shame,shame,shame or Mony Mony.
2. "Baby, baby, baby" ....songs with the word baby in the title.
