[TOMT] (song) 60s song with rock type riff (lemm.ee)

Hello.

I always used to associate this song with Knock on Wood by Eddie Floyd, because it has a similar vibe (both are great songs). But for the life of me, I just can't remember the title, artist, lyrics... barely anything from this song.

I remember it had a male vocalist, it was in E (for you music theory nerds out there), had a very prominent main riff, and I'm pretty sure it's from the 60s. It's an R&B/soul type thing of the era, but almost like a precursor of modern rock too. That's all I remember.

I would really appreciate it if someone knows it. It's driving me nuts not knowing!

Could you maybe record yourself humming the rough tune? Vocaroo is handy for doing that and sharing back here.

Also, here's a link to Knock on Wood. Good tune, which reminds me a bit of We Are Neighbors by the Chi-Lites

I can't remember the tune at all. I tried figuring some of it out on guitar, knowing it's a riff in E. I literally can't remember any notes.

Fair enough. Hope you find it :-)

Literally any three notes and we have something to go on. Sorry if you can't find it, though. Been there, too.

No idea but I'm wondering if it's on one of the Northern Soul playlists, look them up on youtube and maybe its one of those songs. If not, hey, Northern Soul!
