No guessing which top pop combo Mr Lewis is covering, but it’s the way they’ve been covered : luscious strings, horns and even a moog! It’s all for you in the ‘box … and on a thingy player (mucho gracias maki!)

Looks good, Albahooky! I’m looking forward to hearing it. The only ramsey Lewis track I have is one that Pete Rock sampled…Sun Goddess.
Ooh, Ramsey Lewis. Have to post this..

His 1969 album Another Voyage is also highly recommended.
Hmm.. my linking is clunky. How about this live version.
There are few more joyful songs than a jazz version of Hang On Sloopy. Not that the audience seem to be enjoying it in the second clip.
Nope, they do not look happy at all. I think it’s the parents of the kids in this clip, struggling through Eddie Harris’ Listen Here. The poor suckers. Except for the guy air drumming on his knees and a few desultory hand claps, they look like they’ve been forced into a seminar on frozen food.
I didn’t realise it was a full album, I already had Back In the USSR and Dear Prudence, I’ll be enjoying this.
Enjoying this a lot, Albahooky. Now you’ve got the code, no doubt we can expect more! Great first post. Welcome.
Under the covers lives on. Nice one, Hooky.
That was lush!! I liked the instrumentation.
I’m always conflicted about Beatles covers. EVen Nina Simone singing Here Comes the Sun. There’s no reason not to like it, but for some reason I just can’t listen to it. I think my dislike for the Beatles is not rational or reasonable. It’s more of an aversion. Or an allergy. I have tried to like them, too!
Having said that, I did enjoy listening to this album, and a couple of the tracks appealed greatly.
Thanks, Albahooky!
