King Pleasure's version included vocals by Blossom Dearie as well as instrumental contributions from Teacho and Band.Other artists who later released renditions of the song include George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Quincy Jones, Tito Puente, Amy Winehouse and Georgie Fame.The TONY award-winning musical Jersey Boys featured the song.The song also has been featured on an episode of The Cosby Show, as well as in an early 1990's Gap television commercial.In 2006, American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin remade the song.His version appears on the album American Idol Season 5: Encores.This version just missed the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number one on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.The lyrics are often incorrectly attributed to King Pleasure because he was the first to record it.However, some sources report that when Pleasure was asked to write more lyrics to solos he confessed that he had not written this one.He had heard Jefferson perform it in a jazz club some years before and asked permission to reproduce it.James Moody later hired Jefferson to come on the road with him.Jefferson also appears on several recordings with Moody (...)"..
