Love the George Benson-style scat-playing here. Taj Mahal is the man – probably the best live version of this song I’ve heard yet! Thanks for uploading.

holy crap that was good ! the scat-sync with the guitar was unbelievable. saw him on the Boston common in ‘69 or ‘70 or maybe both – been a fan since. great stuff!!!!!

Nice clip!
Of the many many great tunes he’s recorded over the years this one’s my favorite. Since around 1970 I’ve seen him perform live about 20 times and he’s most definitely still the man.

You don’t learn this kind of stuff in school. This is life’s experiences comming out in raw but eloquent form.
