Elton John - Hey Papa Legba (1982) With Sing-a-Long Lyrics!

[trfesok]

Great R&B track! There's a Talking Heads track called "Papa Legba", about voodoo, so GreenFuzz might be right.

Actually, the song is from the "21 at 33/Fox" sessions.

[Greenfuzz138]

this song is about some voodoo stuff

[johncuschieri]

not their best work but passable

@TheAlienesque just had a look on wikipedia for what it's worth (!) and it says this was recorded during the 21 at 33 sessions in 1979. Apparently there are a few unheard songs from the Jump Up sessions though. Wonder if they'll ever see the light of day

[77edster]

Sounds more like it was an outtake from 21 at 33 to me, albeit the song wasn't published until 1982 - the sound isn't like the Jump Up album

Nice one, thanks for posting it RonnieFriend. I'd have liked it to be on the album instead of I Am Your Robot, but those were the 80's...hehe.

Love this song - one more EJ B-side hidden treasure.

Great song, makes you feel like it's time to shake a leg.
