 A real "1st attempt recording", this is the first take, none of us before had ever tried this arrangement of mine of this classic , that I remember since I was a kid, (I still have Three Dogs Night's version 45rpm)... I just recently discovered that it was written by Randy Newman. To me, the New Orleans' second line style beat makes the funny song even more fun...

Demo - I don't need no doctor -  cover

<Just tryin' to swing my grooves tru life>
Instruments
-Piano ac. & el, organ, Clavi, ver very little synths, vocals (somehow)
Styles (jus hate to "label" music, but people asks..)
Mostly blackish, so; 
Souljazz (as "jazz" as it's commonly percieved has become almost too "serious")Funk/Nùfunk, Swing-blues, R&B, Brazil and almost any jazz derivate..
Ot top of what above, I have a special "soul liason" with some late '60s early '70s music,  one reference for all: 
Leon Russell,
 but also Hendrix, the early "Chicago transit Authority", and likes such as James Booker and "subsequent" New Orleans heritage...  Got the idea?
