It Takes Time

[maryellen healy]

One of the songs that ha been with me a long time is "It takes time" by Otis Rush. I first heard it on Live at the Filmore West (circa 1968) featuring Michael Bloomfield (and his 59 Les paul) playing the lights out in a tour de force. Nick Gravenitis gave a great vocal. I researched the song back then and then heard Otis Rushs original, (he records it several times) The next time I heard a recording of it was by PG with the spliner group live version and sisnce i had not known that PG had prviosly done it i was entranced. I have since heard the Bruning Sunflower version. On other threads I now notice that there are Fleetwood Mac Versions and I am very interested if other recordings are available of this in particular. If people can steer me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. This is one of those songs, like"Last Night",help the poor, All you love, Woke up this morning,so many roads, double trouble etc that really connect the blues legacy.
