Well..ok so he did not write the words but the tune is just amazing and OK so others sing this much better but the slighty excentric way he does this makes me want to meet this guy for a cool coffee..HIS doing the girl bit adds to the humour..
If you acn get your hands on this concert, watch it. So many legends in that orchestra. James Moody (sax), Arturo Sandoval (trumpet), Giovanni Hidalgo (congas), Paquito D'Rivera, Dizzy...too many to name..incredible night.
Don't forget about Danilo Perez on piano, as well as Claudio Roditi on trumpet.. Airto on percussion... Ignacio Berroa on drums.. Steve Turre & Slide Hampton on bone...
Greatest rendition of one of my favourite songs!!

I saw him perform at a ucla jazz concert on a field trip once. I didn't even know who he was back then.

Yeah...OH Elliot Yamin! Sooo good!
....Moody's version is unorthodox...but that's the nature of the style of the piece. I bet he's never sang this the same way twice.

does he have a lisp?

No. he suffered a stroke and recovered sufficient enought to continued to blow. You must hear the instrumental also by Mr. Moody.

There is another vocal version of this song done also by Eddie Jefferson and George Benson.

forgive my ignorance, but who is singing?
syckindahead 3 years ago
That's James Moody.
His sax solo to the song "In the Mood for Love" grew into a standard of its own, becoming "Moody's Mood For Love," with lyrics and all...
This version is wild, to say the least!
