"Don't Make Me No Never Mind (Slow Drag)" is a song written by Quincy Jones, James Ingram, and Roy Gaines for the 1985 film The Color Purple, directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the novel by Alice Walker. It is performed by John Lee Hooker as a part of the film's soundtrack, which was composed and produced by Quincy Jones. The song is a slow blues number that reflects the mood and atmosphere of the rural South in the early 20th century, where the film is set. It is played during a scene where Celie Harris Johnson (Whoopi Goldberg) and Shug Avery (Margaret Avery) go to a juke joint and dance together.
