I am a bit confused about the Composers of Mojo Hannah. You credit Andre Williams/Clarence Paul which is probably correct as they are credited on the Tammi Lynn original.

However on the Aaron Neville single 1972 on Mercury it credits Gaines/Gaines /Kober.

Does anybody out there know why?

Must be a mistake on the 1972 Aaron Neville release, which was corrected on later releases of the song.


B-side "Mojo Hannah" written by Andre Williams and Clarence Paul, according to Bill Dahl's notes to the compilation The Allen Toussaint Sessions.

An alternate longer mix appears on most compilations. See Dan Phillips' review here.

For more on the origins of this tune, written about a decade earlier by Andre Williams and Clarence and Barbara Paul (rather than the mystery folks named in the label credits) check this post on Tami Lynn's own hot version.

But according to the Third Series of the Catalog Copyright Entries add Barbara Paul as a co-composer

Accidentally replied to the mailing list:

Thanks so much JoJo,

A lot of great links especially about Aaron, without doubt my favourite vocalist for the past 30 yrs or more.
