Trata-se
de uma canção escrita pelo bluesman Percy Mayfield. Ficou famosa apos a
gravação de Ray Charles. O compacto veio com The danger zone no lado B e foi
lançado em setembro de 1961 pelo selo ABC.
A
canção é um breve dueto cômico entre uma mulher e o seu marido que parece que
não presta pra nada. Ele fica pedindo pra ela pra ficar e ela diz que não,
porque “it's understood: you ain't got no money, you just ain't no good."
A
gravação de Charles foi o número 1 dos charts pop americanos por duas semanas,
começando na segunda-feira dia 9 de outubro de 1961. A canção também se tornou
número 1 nos charts de R&B, ficando nessa posição por 5 semanas e se
tornando o sexto numero 1 de Ray Charles nesse chart. A canção foi eleita como
numero 377 das maiores canções de todos os tempos da revista Rolling Stone.The
Animals gravaram-a em 1966, Suzi Quatro em 1974 e John Mellencamp em 1976.
