This tune, originally titled I Want a Little Girl is on the bluesier side of jazz. Its been widely recorded by artists such as Jimmy Witherspoon, Ray Charles, and Joe Turner, although Nat King Cole pulled it squarely into the jazz arena. Its one of the tracks on the album where we used a cantankerous B3 that only worked for a few minutes at a time. Wed wait until the wheezing B3 would catch its breath and then wed do a quick take before it died again! Youd never know by the laid-back feel of the musicians on the track.
