Hmm...well, I'm pretty sure it's not a cover of The Spencer Davis Group song despite what some would think, per AGD if I remember correctly. Apparently written by Brian. That's all I knowl.

Spencer Davis Group? The only "I'm a Man" I've heard is the Bo Diddley song, which cooks. Is this a cover of that? Title: Re: I'm A Man... Post by: petsite on July 09, 2012, 07:22:26 PM I'm A Man was recorded by Brian at Mike's home studio July 1980, at the same sessions that yielded Be My Baby, River Deep, and Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love. Stevie was not recorded until January 1981. I don't think that Brian even wrote it until Fall of 1980. Isn't it weird how gruff Brian sounds on all the 79-80 tracks, but he doesn't sound that way on Stevie. Just sayin'.....
Bob Title: Re: I'm A Man... Post by: Slow In Brain on July 15, 2012, 06:23:20 PM Thanks for the info. Didn't know about the other I'm A Man songs. Did Brian write and record much during 1980 - 1981 ?
Title: Re: I'm A Man... Post by: petsite on July 16, 2012, 09:15:32 PM Yeah, he did. Instead of pulling a brain muscle, let me quote Mr. Doe's wonderful board:

Post by: Jay on July 16, 2012, 09:40:55 PM I wonder if "Why Don't You Tell Me Why" was the same song from the sessions with Dennis? It seems like it would be, going by the lyrics.
