Something to Make You Smile
If this doesn't get your toe to tapping, you're hopelessly depressed. Jackie Wilson was one of the great ones and this is a clever video. I've watched it half a dozen times and still get a kick out of it.
That is awesome! I greatly winced at the SPLITS part [Ouch!]. There was a day when I could have.... no, wait a minute, there NEVER was a day I could have done that without being hospitalized! Definitely toe-tapping. I love the sharp "shots" of the horns....
Glad you enjoyed that one as much as I did, Cip. Jackie Wilson was an amazing singer and had a really long career but I will always remember him best for his hit single "Lonely Teardrops." I just about wore out a 45 recording of that one.
Sadly, the guy collapsed and died on stage a few years ago.
That is awesome!
