Dear old Rico, he's almost past it now, but still a legend. His playing days really should be over; he can hardly manage anything any more.
The song is an old Ska classic, written by Toots (and the Maytals) Hibbert, who's girlfriend had just left him for a big fat guy, that he named 'Monkey Man'.
One of my favourites by Amy. Such a waste of a naturally gifted girl. I flippin LOVE Monkey Man.... Love it I tell you! It's one of my fave Ska tracks :) I can't hear it cos the computer police at work won't let me but I shall revisit later! Thanks Cro!

Great clip - I remember seeing this - must say though she's a terrible mover - doesn't quite know what to do with her legs. St. Vitas dance maybe!
and a bit sultry looking too.
Not her best tune, to my mind. I saw Rico a couple of times, and I have to also say that I never liked all that brass either - sorry...
Great singer. She looked overjoyed to be there.
Listened to a few tracks by a young guy named Maverick Sabre the other day who sounded just like her. You'd like him.
Great clip.... I think of her as having been a bit of a bird of paradise...appropriate after yesterday's lovely post.

I've just had a quick peek. The sound and the face don't seem to match... are you sure he wasn't dubbed? Great voice!
Forgot to say that I detest Jools Holland too!
not sure of the song, but she looked fab then didnt she?
The ravages had not yet taken over.
That was nice, Cro. But she seemed so sad, even then, even singing such an upbeat song. Man, what a waste of a talented life.
I prefer her over Lady Gaga. Amy was tuned in with those old Jazz singers and really knew her stuff. Sad that she's gone.

No you didn't. You've told me that before.
Well, when you get home turn the amp' up to 11, and get stompin'.
Thanks for posting this, Cro. Such a talented young woman and gone too soon.
