David Nichtern wrote the song. The guitar work on the recording is the inimitable Amos Garrett. All of them— much older now, still alive.
Garrett has a book on his stringbending technique— a remarkable lead solo that also .. “made” the song.
All these players got into country and jazz... and stayed in blues smooth jazz. Great stuff.
I just played “Sleepwalk” cover by Amos Garrett. It’s a great cover and he really has super technique.
