Thank you Tony O'Malley for your contribution to music, your choices of material, and outstanding musicians to keep you company.  I still have the original Kokomo album (in mint condition of course) of which this tune was featured, and your rendition of the Bobby Womack classic is still in the pocket. Say Hello to our musical brothers and sisters all over the world, and tell them "Downtown DV" is grrovin' with them here stateside. Ciao
