Elvin Bishop is one of Americas' hottest guitarists and he toured America and Europe for over forty years, this was a huge hit and I saw them do this live at The Aquarius in Seattle in 1976. The singer, Mickey Thomas, was a gospel singer and this performance is one of the best ever.

Love this song - one of the best from the 70s 😍 Elvin Bishop wrote the song and played on it. I think he's doing the guitar solo in this clip. The guy singing is Mickey Thomas, who was later in the band Starship.

Janitor?? That's a 70's 'Jump Suit' to you sir...lol Me thinks the singer and back up singer..have 'fooled around and fallen in love'... But really...Elvin Bishop (guitarist and song writer) wrote the song but knew he couldn't pull off the vocals so he asked his then male back singer up to perform it...Mickey Thomas...His career took off from here. Cheers.

Elvin Bishop guitar 🎸 player 🎸 wrote this song, but didn't think his gravelly voice was suited for the song so he had backup singer Mickey Thomas sing it.

Elvin Bishop is the sheriff playing his Gibson known as Red Dog.Elvin wrote this and let his backing singer Mickey Thomas sing it,which was a great choice.Reni Slais singing this with Mickey is also adding a great sound to this.Elvin does sing,and made it big with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.I saw Elvin ad Mickey play this live in Tulsa,Oklahoma in the mid '70's.

good comments on recognizing the greatness of this song ... for more iconic vocals from Mickey Thomas check him out on Starship's "JANE". ... also for an Elvin Bishop song that's fun and gets very little attention try ROCK MY SOUL.

The title is misleading the lead is the great Mickey Thomas. One of the greatest singers in my opinion. Elvin was playing the mean guitar. Incredible. Terrific song, hats off to all involved. Mickey later went to Jefferson Starship, you need to check out JANE, more 🔥🔥🔥 🔥 like this great song.
