Makin' Whoopee

[@danieltang2462]

This is big time music.

[@Lynz261]

Best rendition. I absolutely love the way their voices are a perfect complement. I hope they did lots of songs together.

[@sisterdebmac]

This song makes me dance exactly like that.

[@stephenposts5008]

Was turned on to Dr. John in 1972 at the Mar Y Sol Pop festival in Puerto Rico. Have been into him ever since. Saw him several times over the years including at the fabulous "Music Inn" in Lenox Ma. Saw him last at Stephens Talkhouse in South Beach Florida. Each being a very memorable show. His music will certainly live on in so many. I for sure. +

[@jeffinsagentable]

2 legendary sexy voices. The Doc and Jones!!!

[@EUZELIA]

I absolutely love this rendition with them. Thanks for being on here.

[@jaytea42]

love her dancing lol!

[@sixfootbear]

RLJ is one of the finest singers in my lifetime.

[@wiltner]

You go girl. Your in a league of your own. Dr John your a living legend.

[@LesCish]

My favorite cover of this.

[@TLDavis1230]

I remember this being played on station here (Love94), and it is such an irresistable catchy tune...thanks for posting!!!

[@tomdignan8815]

That big 'studio band' is so fantastic....

[@mustlovepretzels]

jazzyvocalfan: thanks for posting. I'm not the biggest Rickie Lee Jones fan but after reading "Last Chance Texaco" I had to check out this performance. Cheers!

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

BOTH R SO KOOL. " RICK'S BACK IN TOWN" BLENDS WELL W/ "THE DOCTOR" " MUST HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT PLACE, MUST HAVE BEEN THE WRONG TIME"

[@1960beemer]

Oh my God! What can I say? Speechless

[@nicoletta067]

I think this is very COOL!!! Au Naturale! - they're having so much fun with this it's great - wish I could sing like that and bet others do too!

[@jerryferko8309]

TIMELESS !

[@Tipasa100]

Best rendition, this one is for the books.

[@OO7Rockchick]

wow just saw this on MTV and had to google it. WOW AWESOME!!!!!!!! xxxxx

[@jerryferko8309]

and the tonite show orchestra , WOW !

[@MultiSaraann]

WOW.....LOVE IT!!!!

[@elizabethfaraone]

I adore this duo.

[@divynem]

Cool - have this CD - great duo

[@lewisclark8792]

saw another version of this duet on bravo several years ago (even better if that is possible) . Rickie as wearing a red funky hat and at the end her and Dr, John walked out arm in arm. Never forgot it. Hope they are still performing.

[@felixgreenburg3373]

Dr John definitely is

Flippin' Awesome!!

[@oldpier]

great great video, very good swing, thank for posting.

[@annvassallo3265]

I ❤️ it

[@24451320]

i love you rickie lee jones

[@gft2055]

Thanks...I enjoyed it.

[@Otispuss2]

@westpalmscott Good for you - my guess is that folks who make those comments are clueless. She has a very loose style - that doesn't mean she's stoned. Having been there myself, I don't see it - just a very talented stylist. BTW - very good version. Dr John and Rickie work well together. Five stars.

[@gregjhill]

Awesome!!!

[@arthurkyriazis]

oh yeah!

[@DrFartfire]

Love this song! And she is HIGH! A natural high that is....

[@RemoVegas]

R.I.P. - DOC..!

[@celblues7]

Doc is da man! Y'erd me?

[@RunDCM]

Dr John is underrated. He's an icon.

[@Bogframe]

How can one be underrated AND an icon? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[@cresta141]

EEEEXXCELLENTTT!!

[@MCGEHEE1]

Well done!

[@bobdownunder1]

Jazzy you got that one down you got that one down WHOOPEE

[@annvassallo3265]

So 😎 cool

[@pichipachu]

nice little dance, RLJ... go ahead!

[@timothyboggs5765]

Dr. John has a good tailor. I wonder who it is? Rickie Lee has a great voice and sense of presence.

[@like2view]

Great MAtch up.. Most remember this from Sleepless in Seattle. The song from a musical of the same name datres from the 30s. What is the Venue here? I hear the announce say "e'll be right back"

[@BasyukV]

Вкусный вокал,пристойный Band!!!Маленький танец смачный!!!UUUUUpsss!!!

[@RFDlic]

@ZPinarello She gave you a good example for strength.

[@chrismorgan8200]

Great

[@MCGEHEE1]

Oh yes...5 Stars!

[@carolinawenierdog]

Hot daymn

[@lnefouse]

Sheeeeeeeet...can I have an AMEN???!!!

[@submarinepainter]

it was theTonight Show with Johnny Carson

[@carolinawenierdog]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaammm!

[@enaj78]

This song was sung by Eddie Cantor years ago. About 60 years ago.

[@like2view]

thanks submarinepainter, reading the thread makes me curious. apparently another performance on video is available, tough to top this one I think, Is it also live? I definitely will have to search the version with Toots Thielemann and Peggy Lee.

[@potrezeb1]

whatever happened to Ricky Lee Jones ???? a real treat ...big band arrangement ..mmmm

[@raphaellavelasquez8144]

Omg what is this from? I never saw it.

[@mmiaxx2002]

grrr yes

[@woody41435]

I love this video, but they (Dr, John & Rickie Lee) made a better video of this - it was super. I believe it played on MTV - if anyone has it and can upload it, please do it. They were in a household scenerio and it just made you feel good when you watched it.

[@jazzyvocalfan]

@OO7ROCKCHICK This clip was on MTV?

[@Bogframe]

This was the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson

[@BWFSabian]

bucking frilliant.. they fit so well and i have a problem not singing along and i am not even gay....

[@farmyardflavours]

Lol

[@traceyavery6899]

this is the tonight show, and it has to be before johnny left, so summer of 1992 at the absolute latest.

[@Carlschwamberger1]

I'm guessing earlier. Doc & Jones collaborated on a album in the 80s & I'm thinking this was a promotional appearance.

[@jaytea42]

Off-The-Hook!

[@Denizzio]

Now I know -Bjork had a teacher and her name is RLJ

[@mareckbamf]

@ZPinarello I did, so no worries.

[@Vaportrale]

Yeah, the Doc is probably completely strait lol

[@thegolfguru1]

What year is this?

[@BasyukV]

Помогите найти партитуру для оркестра!!!

[@cielo27rah]

uhm is dumb, and you could be wrong - they both sound awesome - you should just say thank-you

[@adrianholroyd4533]

Later bro. And thanks.

[@paulmalcolm3831]

Reggie. MALCOLM

[@Bassjunkie1985]

swanky!!

[@Shorty_Lickens]

this is a horrible horrible version of a decent song.

[@judithhaney]

The horns are much too loud in this number - they sound like NOISE, not music. The doctor and Rickie are soooo much better with just the piano.

[@jjtruth3507]

I prefer Michelle Pheiffer's version from the movie "The Fabulous Baker Boys."

[@gat1240]

So you prefer Michelle Pheiffer to a legendary figure like Dr. John. Go get the music on the Album " In a Sentimental Mood",this song and several other classics are on it. I think you'll change your mind. The piano playing, the band, the arrangements, the singing and foremost the material are first rate and will last forever.

[@FishingtonBurpPuzzle]

It is fine but that brass needs to tone.

[@tutlessproductions]

definitely one of the most awkward and uncomfortable performance i've ever seen. where are his eyes and where is her coffee and whoever told her she could sing. can't wait till i start posting vids
