Manfred Mann - Watermelon Man (1965)

[Mrthelonius11]

I am very very glad they did not cover any more herbie hancock tunes. I love Manfred Mann, I love Herbie Hancock and I absolutely hate this rendition.

[Wilthomer66]

@Mrthelonius11 This is not exactly Herbie Hancock, it's via Jon Hendrick's vocalese version....

The sax is out of this world! Great riff to be shoehorned in a pop performance. Too dangerous for US primetime back then.

[fermutante]

BIZARRE

[MrAgm65]

Not a huge hit for MM however perhaps this Herbie Hancock song shows where the heart of Manfred Mann the band lay before the Mike d'Abo era. Great video

[spacepatrolman]

@MrAgm65 Manfred mann was originaly the mann hugg jazz band doing heavy acoustic jazz another jazz number they did with vocals was driva man by max roach and oscar brown on the pretty flamingo lp it hasnt been in youtube yet

Cool jazz from a rock group. Paul Jones, underrated vocalist. So good!!

Fantastic! So far I've only heard Paul Jones singing but this is the first I've seen him performing and I think he is really TOPS.

This tune was written by Herbie Hancock. Strt 12 bar. I have an instrumental version by Albert King on his "Live Wire Blues Power " LP..........

[sangell3]

Paul Jones was, perhaps, the coolest singer that ever lived... and the way he does this

song proves it. 

[foxnaif]
