Anyone who has been lucky enough to attend a Jools Holland show will know that he always finishes his set with this song; and everyone joins in.
I first saw Prince Buster at The Metropole Hotel, here in Brighton. It must have been 1966-ish, and he was heading the bill, along with The Move; featuring Roy Wood. A very strange mix.
Anyway, here is The Prince himself, singing with Jools's band.
Buster often claimed to have written 'Enjoy Yourself' himself, but I don't think he did. I'm sure it dates from earlier. Doris Day sang a version in 1950, when the song was attributed to Herb Magidson and Carl Sigman. Perhaps he just changed some of the lyrics, or the tune.
Eagle-eyed viewers might spot the late Rico Rodriguez shaking his maracas in the background
I've never heard of Jools. Good singalong dancealong song to get the day going
ReplyDeleteJools and his band are great to see live; a good evening's entertainment.
