Lonnie Mack
Lonnie McIntosh (July 18, 1941, April 21, 2016), known by his stage name, Lonnie Mack. He was an American rock, blues, and country singer-guitarist. As a featured artist, his recording career spanned the period from 1963 to 1990. He remained active as a performer into the early 2000s.
Mack played a major role in transforming the electric guitar into a lead voice in rock music. Best known for his 1963 instrumentals, “Memphis” and “Wham!”. People called him a rock-guitar “pioneer” and a “ground-breaker” in lead guitar soloing. In these, and several other early guitar instrumentals, “he attacked the strings with fast, aggressive single-string phrasing and a seamless rhythm style”. These tunes are said to have formed the leading edge of the virtuoso “blues rock” lead guitar genre.
His guitar recordings were a significant influence on many prominent rock guitarists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Dickie Betts and Ted Nugent. According to Guitar World magazine, Mack’s early solos influenced every major rock-guitar soloist from the 1960s through the 1980s, from “Clapton to Allman to Vaughan” and “from Nugent to Bloomfield”.
Mack is also considered one of the finer “blue-eyed soul” singers of his era.
Mack released close to a dozen albums, playing a mix of blues, rock, country, R&B and rockabilly. He was inducted into the International Guitar Hall Of Fame in 2001 and the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame in 2005.
Lyrics
Let me tell you about my baby she’s every mans dream
She could be the foldout in a girlie magazine
I got to satisfy Susie (You got to satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie (satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie, Susie so satisfies me
I got a brand new Chevy keep and shine up in my drive
Souped up to the limit cause Susie likes to drive
I got to satisfy Susie (You got to satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie (satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie, Susie so satisfies me
Susie gives her lovin anyway we can
She dont give her lovin to any other man
I got to satisfy Susie (You got to satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie (satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie, cause Susie so satisfies me
You ask me if I’m happy do I look satisfied
Susies got a way to keep the twinkle in my eye
I got to satisfy Susie (You got to satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie (satisfy Susie)
I got to satisfy Susie, cause Susie so satisfies me
I got to satisfy Susie, Susie so satisfy me
