Come On Down! (Eddie Harris album)

Come On Down! is an album by American jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris recorded in 1970 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception

The Allmusic review called the album "a romping soul/jazz/rock session... a bit overloaded on the electric guitar side, but invigorating".

Though uncredited, Hot Chocolate's 1971 hit single "You Could Have Been a Lady" borrows heavily from album closer and 1970 single "Why Don't You Quit", lifting its entire melody and other elements.
