@Eurobubble70 I actually came here to sample it myself. lol.

@salgoudsamoht I agree the best version of this number is the version by Bobby Gentry, of course she wrote it and that would make a difference i guess. Every version would be measured against hers. I never really could get into Criss stuff. I never liked the tone he got out of the Sax. I guess Coleman Hawkins would have to rank up there with the best of them.

@2grouchy1 i like Mr. Donaldson a lot and have a few of his bluenote albums. in re this song, i assume you're referring to jazz versions because i feel Ms. Gentry is the best, the 4+ min. original version (although edited down from the master take someone said). it's the best of the other 82 versions i've heard on YT. jazz? have you heard the version by the late Mr. Sonny Criss, may he rest in peace, that's done more bop-like with Cedar Walton on piano, Bob Cranshaw, and Alan Dawson? it's good.
