Artist: Willie Tee
Author: Earl King
Label: Nola
Year: 1965

Real name: Wilson Turbinton, leader of The Wild Magnolias. He wrote himself a carbon copy as Thank You John, covered by Alex Chilton (see also: The Peanut). Nola was a New Orleans label, but when it hit big, Atlantic stepped in. Produced by Wardell Quezerque.

Covers:

1970s:

Jimmy Dobbins [produced by Wardell Quezerque]

1976:

James Montgomery

1990:

Willy DeVille [on his New Orleans album Victory Mixture, as a wiedergutmachung for borrowing these same Wild Magnolias' proud New Suit (see there) and turn it into ordinary Italian Shoes without any credit or permission]

1999:

Van Broussard

Not only does Teasin' You sound a lot like It's All Right by The Impressions (see there), the words It's all right are repeatedly sung by Willie Tee, both in Teasin' You and Thank You John.
