Is it known where Johnnie recorded "Friday Night" ... Memphis [[I guess) or Detroit ?

It was recorded at Fame Studios, Muscle Shoals.

Poor choices of his work in my opinion. What about his masterpiece "Friday Night" also "Who's Making Love", "I Believe In You, You Believe In Me", "I Ain't Particular".

Many thanx Stax of Motown.
