Freddy Scott will always hold the distinction of having the first and definitive recording of "Hey Girl." I do think that the recent cover by Michael McDonald is outstanding - and nearly 6 minutes long, but there is something magic about Freddy's voice on this song. ..."sorry ya had to go Freddy"

Remarkable piece of work. One of the most instantly recognized 45s ever.

Very sorry to hear of his passing.
