Rick Hall arranged a distribution deal with Atlantic Records, but Jerry Wexler asked that the song be re-recorded because the horns were out of tune . According to musician David Hood, "They went back in the studio and changed the horns, got different horn players to play on it . But then the tapes got mixed up and Atlantic put out their original version . So that's the hit ." </P>
