What Does It Take...

Here's Garland Jeffreys' 1982 cover of Junior Walker & the All Stars' 1969 chart-topper, "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)":

I listened to Jeffreys in the early '80s. It turns out his biggest hit was "Wild in the Streets." And funny timing, the Circle Jerks came out with a cover of "Wild in the Streets" in 1982, the lead track of the album of the same name.

At the Jeffreys clip above, notice Harvey Keitel in the opening scene (likely an MTV viddy, but I don't recall seeing it). [Added: Is that Joe Piscopo in there as well?]

The original song from Junior Walker & the All Stars is
