I did this about 7-8 yrs ago when I first got my PA1x pro and tyros2. That totally phony sax is from the pa1x and the guitar is from the Tyros2. Manual bass and piano from Fantom G7 and organ from my old C1. I just heard this funky beat from my Alesis drum kit (I think) and started playing to it (and then adding to it). I DO remember losing track of the "I know, I know's" and just saying 'ahh screw it' smile. I don't even know if those three chords were right since I was just winging it from memory. Just posted it for variety, definitely nothing I'm proud of smile.

Nice Chas! Love the feel and the groove. Is that you on vocal? Sounds really good.

Sadly yes. Through a vocal processor of course, probably my old Roland VP550 (I now use the VP770). I think I'll take Donny's advice and do it again with my aging geezer buddies on guitar and sax (and of course my beloved KeyB organ). I'll probably try to find a suitable 'live' drum track to play to. BTW, we just recorded a nice 'straight ahead' version of 'JUST FRIENDS'. I may post it after I clean up the recording a bit.

Chas, nothing wrong with you vocal. For me, it’s my second ever song that ever sang in English. Actually I never played these songs before. Couple oglf times while figuring the cords before hitting record button. The rest is from my head in real time.

Hi Mirza . Loved your very bluesy version of this great song . Great playing and nice expressive singing . Really well done .

I also enjoyed chas slightly more swung version . Both were great interpretations of a classic song .

Chas: Nice rendition of the classic tune. It would be interesting to hear it with the newer arranger saxes.

Good job!
