'Chain Of Fools': youtu.be/3vIvFPEwMEI

Taken from our 'live' performance in The Chalk Venue, Dublin.

Many years back while in NYC we had the pleasure of meeting the man who wrote "Chain of Fools", Don Covay, in a hotel. Lucky enough someone had a guitar and we got to jam with him and he did an amazing version of Chain of Fools. What a legend. Sadly he passed away on 31 January, 2015

Chain of Fools story: Asked by Jerry Wexler, producer with Atlantic Records, to create songs for Otis Redding, Covay recorded a demo of "Chain of Fools", a song he had written in his youth while singing gospel with his brothers and sisters. The recording featured Covay singing and playing guitar, overdubbed with himself singing background. Listening to the demo, Wexler chose to place the song with Aretha Franklin rather than Redding.

Thanks to David Merriman David Merriman (DMI Videos) for shooting the full performance, producing the promo video and also for allowing us access to the multicam footage. Huge thanks also to Conor Friel for his incredible audio mix from the sound desk.

Post-production and Editing on all individual videos by Paul Maher
