You might ask Bob Norton, "Norton Music". He's probably done that song since it is a very popular song. He publishes a lot of BB Fake Book songs which are real good backings or a good place to start.

A number of possibilities. Heres one: Realtracks
_POPHFEST Fast pop 165 RS (but without the harmonica replace this with
883 Guitar, Texas Blues Rock High Riff ). And another dirty guitar in the “Melody” track like 697 Guitar real tracks.

You’ll have to work this a bit. Never quite the same as the original but I always have the objective of getting a new arrangement of an old tune.

Thanks:
I decided to try the motown style at a fast rate of 225bpm and play in the organ parts live. It turned out pretty well...

For the sake of a live performance, I'd look for a good MIDI file of the target song and use that as the basis of my backing track. I might add a RealTrack or two, might substitute a RealDrum, etc. but that way I can get those critical song hooks where needed.

"Good Lovin'" -- Back in my B3 playin' daze, I would try to quote the original studio cut organ solo in entirety. Because it leads directly into the Break. People liked it that way. A good MIDI file is likely to have that in there note for note and a good MIDI synth organ patch is all you need in there.

Good Lovin' is one of the freakin' greatest records of all time.

Not many people know that it was orginally recorded by The Olympics and later picked up by The Rascals.

My band would play that song at almost every show.
