Cantaloupe island - Herbie Hancock

Great tune! What regular album is that from by Herbie? Not on a greatest hits please. Getting lost in his backcatalog. Is it Empyrean Isles?

Hey Riv, yes, Empyrean Isles. A great album!

Not my opinion as to what are "the greatest," but these three always make me smile and drop into a nice groove.

Lou Donaldson "Blues Walk"

Curtis Fuller (w/Benny Golson) "Five Spot After Dark"

Art Pepper (w/Carl Perkins) "Holiday Flight"

It being summer and all I get that doo-*** feeling, even though the tunes were written for sock hops and am radio in the fall and winter. Still sunny in my book.

Off the top of my head:

Otis Redding: Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

The Beatles: Here Comes The Sun

The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset.

If we're talking jazz:

Zoot Sims Softly As In A Morning Sunrise

Jimmy Heath: On The Trail

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman: My One & Only Love.

Hey Thebes, good call on Billy Stewart, love "Sitting In The Park (Waiting For You). Apparently he was in a local band with Marvin Gaye when they were teenagers, must have been pretty impressive. I don't think there are any recordings though.
