Bandleader is interested in playing the attached mp3 but neither of us knows what song it is. Can anyone identify this tune? Note: sound quality is really bad (recorded from a telephone hold message). Thanks!

I don't know why, but something in that tune made me think of Billy Powell (RIP).
Catchy tune, I'm sure it'll go down well in certain kind of gigs  .
Regards

Maybe Marcia Ball? She does alot of that kind of music.

Here's some Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen to get you warmed up. Fantastic band and Fonky, Fonky Bass! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ9a7...eature=related

It's a jitterbug pianist hired to do a 50's rock and roll thing for a phone company. If it were famous some old guy here would have named it by now. Then again it could have been this guy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Fmw5umeO0
