Ray Charles is perfect here! He has so many other fun and strange songs - Busted, One Mint Julep, and Let's Go Get Stoned are my other favorites.

Always a classic,

(except that sometimes I get this tune on my mind
& it WILL NOT go away; it can get quite maddening
while trying to get to sleep at night!)

Be sure to check out the cover by
The Residents, (very Minimalist!)

I suppose Bill makes playlists that he re-uses. That's probably better than a compurer picking songs at random.


Well, it moved to the 16th this month.

3rd on that. I love this song! Anything played by the blues brothers would be great "Minnie the Moucher", "Groove me Baby" ........

Nice to hear more and more songs with a jazzy or swingy flavor played on RP! Keep those jewels coming...

Waiting for some funny stuff by the Blues Brothers like "Rubber Biscuit" now... ;)

Wow!!!

I just didn't see this one coming! Great old Ray Charles!! Brilliant song! And It was also used as theme for one of my all time favourite shows on TV (guess which?) hehehe.

Just love Ray Charles. Hey.. how about Jambalaya?

How in the heck can I work when you play songs such as this. I gave it a 10 for Godlike from a God among musicians.
