A lot of clubs were playing this in 1979 though:
His third and final album Simplicity, released in 1981, was a combination of original songs and covers. I feel this is a little better that his previous album, perhaps because of the covers; like his version of the John Sebastian song Summer in the City, Marvin Gaye's Dancing in the Streets, the much covered I Put a Spell on You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) or my pick the Zombies She's Not There:
My final album under "C" is by King Curtis (Curtis Ousley), R&B, soul, funk and jazz sax player. This is a compilation album released in 1972 the year after he was killed at the age of 37. This in on the Pickwick Label, a budget label usually of poor quality and often has pressings of "sound alike" artists. Normally I stay away from this label, but for $.50 or $1.00 like this was, I'm not too worried. Here is one of his own compositions Bill Bailey:
