Been watching and listening to JJ since 1970. Seen him live 5 times. A few years back on my birthday my sister surprised me giving me the original 45 rpm vinyl record of JJ doing Mr. Bojangles. Played it once and retired it as a trophy!!! No one can touch him on this one, though many have tried. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band comes closest!!!

I'd say that, since Jerry Jeff Walker (born as Ronald Clyde Crosby of Oneonta, New York.), is the author, the creator, the man who wrote the song...HIS version is the absolute BEST version of them all!. Now doesn't that make the most sense? End of all arguement.

john holts version is better

Love this version and it's a great song but Nina Simone took this song to new levels that have never been surpassed imo.
-
like this version better than any frankly.
-
Finally..A video of JJW singing Bojangles without a bunch of rude audience clowns talking and yelling in the background. This video is Great!
