“Louisiana singer/songwriter Tony Joe White acquainted America with the Southern cuisine polk salad on this track from his first album, which became a hit single in the summer of 1969.”
And now you can enjoy polk salad too!
There are two versions of this chart, both sounding identical. The first is, I think, easier to read. The second, with its correct key and accidentals, is more enharmonically correct, but I think more difficult to read. Anyway, I’m letting you decide which you prefer…..

Just after listening to Polk I listened to Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together and the horns sounded very similar.
