    “Concerto for a Rainy Day” - a four-song suite on side three of the “Out of the Blue” double album by the Electric Light Orchestra.

    Last song is “Mr. Blue Sky,” which ends with the vocoder lyric “Please turn me over...”, alluding to the fact that it is the end of the side, and you have to flip the record to hear the rest.

    It's easy to hear that SRV copped his whole vocal style from Larry Davis' original recording (whereas Eric Clapton surely chose It Takes Time by Otis Rush as his inspiration):

    Always loved his arrangement of this old standard.

    Plus, check out his reaction to a mild flub at 5:35.
