The opening track \u003ci\u003eWatch your Step\u003c\/i\u003e was played on stage by the Beatles in their Hamburg days who by their own admission, took its riff to fashion the opening to \u003ci\u003eI Feel Fine\u003c\/i\u003e. And let’s not forget Led Zeppelin’s \u003ci\u003eMoby Dick,\u003c\/i\u003e which borrowed that same riff. What a great soulful blues singer Bobby Parker was too. From his 1956 recording of \u003ci\u003eTitanic,\u003c\/i\u003e to 1969’s \u003ci\u003eIt's Hard But It's Fair,\u003c\/i\u003e the latest cut on this album, here are 15 unforgettable vocal performances plus two instrumentals that showcase his unique way of playing the blues. Bobby Parker originals are hard to come by – apart from the hit Watch your Step, everything else is a valuable collector’s item. But this compilation brings them all together in one box and we can promise a treat in store for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Watch Your Step 2.
