Glad you mentioned "Someone To Love," Steve.
That's my absolute favorite song on the "Better Days" album. I it clearly demonstrates Butter's delicious blending with the horn section and tasteful yet emotional soloing. Truly exceptional stuff. Add to that his terrific vocals. Wish I could sing half that good.

For me, it would be the lick in "Done a Lot of Wrong Things" on the Better Days album. That and his masterful playing on "Please Send Me Someone to Love." the Percy Mayfield song.
