Hank Jacobs was an accomplished West coast keyboard player who had an instrumental hit with 'So Far Away' in 1964. He became a Los Angeles session man who worked on many recording sessions with arranger Arthur Wright with whom he had four releases on Alton Scott's Call Me label. The uber-cool 'East Side' with its mid-tempo groove was initially his best-known track, having been appreciated by the Lowrider and Popcorn scenes since its release.
The flip 'Elijah Rockin' With Soul' was the one for the UK soul scene though. Its urgent beat was perfect for Northern Soul dancefloors and was augmented by the cream of LA's musicians.
