“But It’s All Right” was released by J.J. Jackson in 1966 and peaked at #4 on the R&B Charts.  He recorded the song in the United Kingdom and the studio musicians featured some of Britain’s best jazz players – they would later make up his backup band on the road for a few years.  This one is listed as one of the top ten dance tunes of the ages.  It really should be in your repertoire.
