This is where Vince McMahon got the idea to cover "Land of 1000 Dances" in 1985.
20 years earlier, Cannibal & the Headhunters, out of Los Angeles, recorded "Land", which was co-written & originally recorded by Chris Kenner 3 years earlier, but missed the top 40. Not all of the lyrics made it into Wilson Pickett's cover a few months later, and Pickett's version is considered the definitive version.
Cannibal was never heard from again, unfortunately.
