Back in the late 70s, we covered this song. But, because of the cool groove we decided to fill some extra time by extending it.
I wasn't a good enough guitar player yet to do an interesting solo, and I didn't want to do piano, because I brought a kid into to play keys so I could play guitar. He wasn't close to good enough yet to do a long solo.
So, I did a scat solo. Just vocal jazz. A good 45 seconds of it.
That was so much fun.
