The problem was that at that time he was also under contract under another label; Savoy. It took a lot of time to finish that contract with Savoy. For that reason Fire waited two years before they released the follow up of Kansas City, "Let's stick together". Att that time everyone forgot Harrison so the single was a flop. 7 years later Wilbert tried again to hit the charts with that song but he was a afraid that the label owner of Fire claimed the rights so he rerecorded "Let's stick together" as "Let's work together" and indeed had a little hit with it. Most cover versions followed the let's work together version. Only Bryan Ferry seemed to remember the first version. In the early 80's Bob Dylan covered also let's stick together. Although Ferry's version comes very close to the original there are some little aspects in Ferry's version wich gives it that extra sparkle that makes the difference: The sax and Jerry (ok i know she isn't it) at the end and that clip: still a classic. Let's work together sound as well close to the original but misses the percusion in the background and the essential part (at about 23 sec in the original) wich makes it a bit flat.
