What song first recorded by a man who was the bass player for the Jimi Hendrix Experience was later recorded by a band that split up in 1972?
Road (album) Road is the debut self-titled studio album by American hard rock group Road. Released in 1972, it was the only album to be released by the band, who split up the same year. The song "My Friends" was originally recorded by bassist Noel Redding's previous band, Fat Mattress, but went unreleased at the time, making the Road version the first published recording of the song. (The Fat Mattress version has since appeared on the complete works package "", on which it is incorrectly listed as "Little Girl in White".)
Use Me (Bill Withers song) "Use Me" is a song, composed and originally recorded by Bill Withers, which was included on his 1972 album "Still Bill". It was his second-biggest hit in the United States, released in September 1972, and later reaching No. 2 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. "Use Me" also peaked at No. 2 on the soul chart for two weeks. Withers performed the song on "Soul Train" on November 4, 1972. "Billboard" ranked it as the No. 78 song for 1972. The song was certified Gold by the RIAA. The song is noted for its repeated bass figure which is heard alongside a complex rhythm in the percussion.
