Iggy Pop joins Dr. Lonnie Smith for a cover of Donovan’s 'Sunshine Superman,' one of two collaborations from Smith’s upcoming LP 'Breathe.'

’s “Sunshine Superman,” one of two collaborations between the Stooges singer and the jazz great from Smith’s upcoming albumPop and Smith put a soulful spin on the 1966 single, with Smith’s organ the highlight of a spacious arrangement that nearly doubles the song’s original runtime.

Both Pop and Smith are currently Florida natives, with Pop residing in Miami and Smith in Fort Lauderdale. “I was playing with my trio at Arts Garage in Delray Beach in Florida,” Smith said in a statement. “Iggy would come by and say he wanted to play with me. I let him play slaparoo and he loved it. He enjoyed playing with us. We thought about recording a few songs, so we went in with my trio backing us up, and it worked.

In addition to their Donovan cover, the duo — alongside Smith’s trio of guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg, drummer Johnathan Blake, and percussionist Richard Bravo — also recorded a cover of Timmy Thomas’ 1972 single “Why Can’t We Live Together” at a Miami studio.
