This is a hasty cover of Erma Franklin’s 1967 belter, written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, that is one of our favourite soul tracks, and only lost out to a Grammy to her younger sister Aretha in 1969 (“Chain of Fools”). It had a resurgence in Europe in the early 90s after the end of the Cold War thanks to a Levi jeans advert, and its highest chart position for the re-release was number 5 … in Denmark.
Our treatment pays tribute to the Danes (who suffered proportionally among the highest casualties in wars supporting the USA after its triggering the collective security clauses of NATO in places like Iraq and Afghanistan), and who are being shaken down at the moment by the likes of Trump, Vance, and Miller in their bid to bully Europe to agree to the annexation of autonomous Greenlanders.
