A record from legendary Goldwax label, which issued the soul debuts of O.V. Wright and James Carr. Spencer brings that same full on gospel style to his music.

Written by Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham, Penn originally demo-ed his song with Spooner at Fame under the title "I Want A Good Woman (Or No Woman At All)". The song was written with Joe Tex in mind (hence Penn's Tex-style homily in his demo-version which can be heard here on You Tube and first saw release on UK Ace's "Dan Penn - The Fame Recordings" on CD CDCHD 1353 in 2012). Some releases of this song show Shoals guitarist/producer Jimmy Johnson also as a co-writer, but Penn (in the sleeve-notes to the aforementioned UK Ace CD) personally contends that it was just him and Spooner who wrote it (and it's just their names that appear on the label of Spencer Wiggins' 45). Wiggins cut his Goldwax version (according to label-owner Quinton Claunch) at American Studios in Memphis sometime in early 1967 as it saw release that April, sadly not charting. But he was not the first to record it. That honour (after Penn's demo) fell to Wilson Pickett who cut his version (also on You Tube) on October 13 or 14, 1966 at Fame with Chips Moman, Jimmy Johnson. Tommy Cogbill, Junior Lowe, Spooner Oldham and Roger Hawkins making up the rhythm section and Tom Dowd down from the Big Apple helping out Rick Hall with the board. Pickett's take would appear on his January 1967-released "Wicked Pickett" album (Atlantic 8138). It's interesting that Johnson (who, as noted, appears now and then as a co-author) was on Pickett's session, as was Moman, who Wexler of Atlantic was then using regularly in addition to the Fame players and who of course owned the Memphis studio where Claunch says Wiggins would soon cut his rendition. Good as Pickett's version is, Wiggins takes the honours hands-down for me on one of the truly great deep-soul recordings. His gospelly and melismatic approach suits the almost funereally slow pace so well and the musical backdrop is just perfect in its empathy with one of southern soul's greatest vocalists.
