Looking for an old instrumental chart tune 60's/70's.
I seem to keep hearing this tune on oldies radio, but they never say what it is, and I do know it - I'm pretty sure it actually made the charts way back.
Tried songtapper, etc, with no luck so if you know ANY instrumental that probably came out late sixties/seventies, let me know.
One thing I do know, it isn't green onions. I am not going to bother trying to describe it, as obviously it's a bit hard, but it's quite a jaunty tune. I have a strong suspicion it was only from 65 to 75 but I can't swear.
Literally ANY suggestions welcome - if you know of one, just say so.
Ta muchly in advance.

Ta for the answers. Not so far, tho I have to check out that "wade in the water" (will do so after I posted this and come back)
I originally thought it was a booker T tune - I have a feeling it was about that time, and that is why I know it isn't green onions cos I have that.
As for instrumentation, I think it is organ based - certainly not guitar or drums. Could be brass as well (though I don't think any herb alpert stuff). I can hear the tune in my head, having heard it today, but I can't pin down what is actually being used to play it.

could be this Booker T tune...'Time is Tight' ?
