Was turned on to Dr. John in 1972 at the Mar Y Sol Pop festival in Puerto Rico. Have been into him ever since. Saw him several times over the years including at the fabulous "Music Inn" in Lenox Ma. Saw him last at Stephens Talkhouse in South Beach Florida. Each being a very memorable show. His music will certainly live on in so many. I for sure. +
jazzyvocalfan: thanks for posting. I'm not the biggest Rickie Lee Jones fan but after reading "Last Chance Texaco" I had to check out this performance. Cheers!
saw another version of this duet on bravo several years ago (even better if that is possible) . Rickie as wearing a red funky hat and at the end her and Dr, John walked out arm in arm. Never forgot it. Hope they are still performing.
Great MAtch up.. Most remember this from Sleepless in Seattle. The song from a musical of the same name datres from the 30s. What is the Venue here? I hear the announce say "e'll be right back"
@westpalmscott Good for you - my guess is that folks who make those comments are clueless. She has a very loose style - that doesn't mean she's stoned. Having been there myself, I don't see it - just a very talented stylist. BTW - very good version. Dr John and Rickie work well together. Five stars.
thanks submarinepainter, reading the thread makes me curious. apparently another performance on video is available, tough to top this one I think, Is it also live? I definitely will have to search the version with Toots Thielemann and Peggy Lee.
I love this video, but they (Dr, John & Rickie Lee) made a better video of this - it was super. I believe it played on MTV - if anyone has it and can upload it, please do it. They were in a household scenerio and it just made you feel good when you watched it.
So you prefer Michelle Pheiffer to a legendary figure like Dr. John. Go get the music on the Album " In a Sentimental Mood",this song and several other classics are on it. I think you'll change your mind. The piano playing, the band, the arrangements, the singing and foremost the material are first rate and will last forever.
definitely one of the most awkward and uncomfortable performance i've ever seen. where are his eyes and where is her coffee and whoever told her she could sing. can't wait till i start posting vids
