Excellent..Jimmy kept this one quiet..I used to play with him..great character, one in a million..It was an honour to play alongside him for sure..Thanks for this! JT
@wimpers .... nope not at all. The guy's full name was Jimmy Scott-Emuakpor, and he was a British-Nigerian congo player. Played all the top London clubs. It was a phrase he used and Paul McCartney 'borrowed' it for the Beatles song.
@wimpers yep, got plenty of Jimmy Smith tunes... The Cat is an all time mod classic. Yer right about discovering - still get a buzz finding new tunes!

@MarkRevival : oh, really? Sorry for the misunderstanding. Interesting!
Jimmy Smith is a famous hammond organ player, that's why I thought...
Nice that, searching for recordings by the jazz singer Jimmy Scott, I find this great funky tune! Music is one big discovery! :-)
