She's About a Mover is a 1965 song by the Sir Douglas Quintet[3] that was quickly covered by several other artists. The song has a 12-bar blues structure, and is essentially a rewrite of The Coasters’ 1957 hit, "Searchin'"
This was one of the many hits recorded at a location that was known in the 1960s as Gold Star Studios (which is not the same as the LA studio of the same name); it later became known as SugarHill Recording Studios and was located in Houston, Texas. Other hits recorded in the "She's About a Mover" studio included "Treat Her Right" by Roy Head & the Traits, "Funny" by Joe Hinton, and "Turn On Your Love Light" by Bobby "Blue" Bland.
