My folks had the one EP the Honeydrippers released and I used to listen to it all the time.  White soul crooner suited Robert Plant, and it's a shame he didn't record more of this type of music.  I found it interesting that the title track here charted higher in the US than any Led Zeppelin song ever did.  It's certainly a great cover, and despite already owning the EP I was still happy to grab this 45 of the song.  The b-side "Rockin' at Midnight" is also on that EP, so this really doesn't offer anything new other than just a different release of a great song.
