This man seems to be a mystery guy (from what I could find on him). There's not much info on him.
He sang lead on a song by Jacksonians "Hook It To The Mule" also on Way Out.

"Too Much Monkey Business" can be found on Vol 2 of "Deep Soul Discoveries" all 4 volumes are a must have for deep soul lovers. Deep Soul Discoveries Vol. 1-4

Great voice! He reminds me a tiny bit of Wilson Pickett. The scream at he end certainly has some of the "Wilson P. flavor."
