NEVER MAKE YOUR MOVE TOO SOON
Stix Hooper’s composition, Never Make Your Move Too Soon, (co-written with fellow Texan, Will Jennings) was created originally for a B.B. King recording with the Crusaders titled, MIDNIGHT BELIEVER. Watch and listen in the links below. These examples again prove that music has a way of surfacing across countries, ethnicities, and beyond racial and other barriers.
