"because I'm gonna record it myself soon".
1:05:04
And Bobby said, "Oh-oh".
1:05:08
The mystery of being in a recording studio
did something to me...

1:05:12
and those are the songs that came out.
1:05:13
Now the only thing
1:05:17
a gambler needs
1:05:20
is a suitcase and a trunk
1:05:27
After he recorded it,
I had to stop singing the song...

1:05:30
because people were constantly...
1:05:34
accusing me of having got the song
from Bobby's record.

1:05:38
Now that was very, very annoying.
1:05:43
But I couldn't blame that on him
and I didn't.

1:05:46
The whole thing was a tempest in a teapot.
1:05:48
Later on, when Eric Burdon and the Animals
picked the song up from Bobby...

1:05:54
and recorded it, Bobby told me
that he had had to drop the song...

1:05:57
because everybody was accusing him
of ripping it off of Eric Burdon!

1:06:01
Feelin' funny in my mind, Lord
1:06:03
I believe I'm fixin' to die
1:06:05
When I got the disk, I played it
and I was highly disturbed.

1:06:10
I just wanted to cross this record out
and make another record immediately.

1:06:13
I thought I'd recorded the wrong songs...
1:06:15
and I'd already written a few of my own,
that I thought maybe...

1:06:19
I should have stuck on there.
I was way past that record.

1:06:21
Or part of me was just saying...
1:06:23
that I didn't want to record
that record anyway, that I just did it...

1:06:26
I didn't want to give away
anything that was really...

1:06:33
dear to me or something.
1:06:34
When Bobby signed with Columbia,
it was big news on the street.

1:06:38
Everybody wanted that.
1:06:40
People couldn't bring themselves to admit...
1:06:44
that they were that hungry.
1:06:48
They turned it into a moral issue.
They had to.

1:06:53
Because otherwise
they were going to have to take...

1:06:56
long looks at themselves
and might not like what they saw.
