The first sound you’ll notice on this 45 is the drum groove. It’s a great straight 4/4 beat but there’s a shuffle going on beneath it that really gives this track its unique feel. There’s also an awesome call and response between Sammy Lee and the female harmonies throughout its entirety to help take “It Hurts Me” to new levels.
