  • WONDERFUL!! Talent at play!!

  • FANTASTIC! I'd known Big Jay from just one record, his wonderful blues song, "There's Something on Your Mind" from 1957. (Many artists did excellent covers, such as Etta James and BB King.) Only today did I learn that he's a tenor sax great, and the vocals on "Something" were by Little Sonny Warner. YouTube is such a wonderful creation. Thanks for posting this. Long live this great music.

  • @googuse In England us spazzy white people clap on the 2 and 4, The 1 and 4 thing seems to be curiously European, as does clapping with apparantly no concern for the timing of the tune! But as long as they're enjoying it! ;)

  • Great bass on this tune, too!
