Iconic tune tt.

[boxtops]

well posted ttfn, that was what came to my mind when I heard the news.

[boxtops]

..and I hated it when someone wrote lyrics to it....

Sad news, rest in peace Dave.

[vulcan]

Sad news indeed, another giant of jazz has left us.

[ChillDoubt]

Blimey, I remember my music teacher playing Take Five to us in school some 35 years ago. Had no idea he was still around until today's sad news.

[factor-fiction]

I've always loved that track.
I always felt Golden Brown by The Stranglers was heavily influenced by it.

a friend of my mum's gave us a load of 45 records after her son left home in 1966, take five was one of them and it was played such a lot! What a Mouth by Tommy Steele was another........a bit different eh?

[sandyRoe]

Dotty, you should think yourself lucky 'Little White Bull' wasn't among the records. It wasn't Tommy Steel's best.

ah, great stuff, dotty. Though admittedly a bit of a gap between it and Take Five
