“ Mercy Mercy Mercy ” is a bully melodic line , but it was a surprise mainstream strike . It was written and originally recorded in 1966 and had reached # 11 on the Billboard charts by 1967 . Later it was covered by The Buckinghams and the Mauds , and was on the charts again .
Written by the influential keyboardist and composer Joe Zawinul , who gained traction in the Adderley quintet before play with Miles Davis and Weather Report , the chart is catchy because of its laid back 20 - cake structure and repeated chorus . Nat Adderley is on trump , Victor Gaskin is on bass , Roy McCurdy is on drums , Zawinul alternates between piano and Wurlitzer , and Cannonball is of course on alto Adolphe Sax .
This original transcription was supposedly taped in the Club DeLisa in Chicago , but the band was just trying to give the possessor of the DeLisa some free promotional material because he was a friend . It was actually immortalise in Capitol ’s Hollywood studio . The audience was bid and there wasapparentlyan undecided legal profession . I love this chart because it ’s mellowed , but also hits intemperately , and it even has animation advice broil right on in . [ Amazon , iTunes , Spotify ]
