    The song was written by Josef Zawinul and I believe first recorded by Cannonball Adderly.

    Hope this helps

    Cannonball is correct. There are many good covers of this out there. Jaco has a good cover on one of his Live in New York CDs.

    Y'know,

    Someone should invent a program that lets you type in information that you're looking for and brings up a list of webpages with the answer.

    It could be called a search engine.:p

    There was also an R&B cover with lyrics done by Johnny Guitar Watson and Larry Williams that made the Top 40.
