Today I wanted to post three of my favorite clips from one of my all time favorite songs. Written by Hoagy Carmichael this song is the definition of a classic composition. Enjoy!

Always love and respect Ray Charles’ signature version but WOW The Spencer Davis Group version is AWESOME! Put their own spin on it. That was beautiful had me rocking in my chair. I have to play that again. Thanks.

You are certainly welcome! Yeah that clip of The Spencer Davis Group is one of my favorites. I am always blown away about how young those guys were playing like that.
