We done a lot of living
We working overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you
Met you when I was a lil' nappy head boy
And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
Buckjumpin' down on the boulevard
I couldn't wait to blow my own horn (Woo)
It ain't wrong for you to play along
Playing this song 'til you die, come on
In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
Thank you, thank you for your love
We done a lot of living
We working overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin' (Hey)
'Cause you're so genuine (Genuine)
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you (Come on, now)
Met you when I was a lil' country boy
And I never put down that pork chop and salt
Then we fell in love on the boulevard
If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (Run)
Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along
Singing this song 'til you die
In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
Thank you, thank you for your love
We done a lot of living (Whole lotta)
We working overtime (Overtime)
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine (Gold mine)
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you're so genuine (Genuine)
You got that something special
Didn't you know?
I just need you, you, you
You, you, you, you
We working overtime
Don't need another million
You got that gold mine
I love the way you're livin'
'Cause you so genuine
You got that something special
Didn't you know?

The music video is outstanding!
overplayed this CD when it first came out and I was having to commute 1 hour each way for work - so upbeat and positive, it sure helped me get through it all. Thanks RP for a good memory!

Jon B: so groovy, hip, and relevant...not to mention, so bursting with positive energy! He's such an amazing virtuoso, too; like a modern Duke Ellington!

I suspect Alanna's influence? ;)
Great addition!

Jean Batiste was fantastic on Colbert; I’m so happy his career is taking off now! Thank you William
&/or Alanna for adding this! More Batiste, please!

New tune, haven't heard this guy before but it won't be the last time. Big time New Orleans feel. This tune really swings, don't it. Opens with an easy 8 with strong upside here in Napoli on the Gulf.
Fantastic new energy added to RP! 8 on first blush!!!!! 
Liking this. Nice
MORE BATISTE !
Really enjoy John Baptiste
Great addition to the RP playlist
