It is insanely hard to find the name/title of an instrumental when all you have is the melody stuck in your head. I've been looking for this for a VERY long time. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I had an emotional outburst when I accidentally came across this on Youtube. 😭

You& I had the same problem for a long time. One of the classic R&B stations in my city has an oldies program every Saturday morning that they start off with this song. So I called the DJ one Saturday morning & asked for the name & that's how I was able to learn it.

Old hits usually bring me the images of People I've known through the years. "Soulful strutt" brings me the face of Nino, a fellow l met while serving in the Brazilian Army in 1968...one day, in 1969, he said l had to listen to this song...and as we were walking downtown São Paulo, it suddenly started playing at a record shop. He was so elated...that moment was fixed in my mind until the day l die. Nino died in 1977 but he's still alive in my mind.

A relative had the 45 record in 1968. I played this more than she did. It played on the Top 40 Hit Parade rotation for a lot of 1968/'69.
That was the beauty of Top 40. Nevermind the yammering DJs and bombastic ads: you just got turned on to so many musical styles that you would have likely missed out on, had Top 40 not been there. A little jazz, a little Pop, a little Soul, a little rock 'n' roll...you got to hear it all. From a musical/artistic standpoint, people our age - those that lived during that era - were just blessed.
