You cause me to wonder

Don Bryant was one of the lesser lights at Hi records. Only on Hi Records could a singer that could make records this good be considered a lesser light. Bryant is better known for writing producing records for Ann Peebles, who was also his wife. He co-wrote the great “I Can’t Stand The Rain” for her. Al Green sang some of Bryant’s songs, so did Otis Clay and O.V. Wright.

But Don Bryant didn’t write either of these songs. The great Sir Mack Rice wrote both sides of this 45. A Mack Rice writing credit is always a sign that a record is gonna be good.
