A lot of people only know Randy Newman by his hit Short People (I used to be one of those people), or his work on the Toy Story soundtracks.
You Can Leave Your Hat On is a song you want to know. The Joe Cocker version is good. Newman’s is better. It’s been done by a lot of others. Newman’s is better. It’s his song. People rarely talk about the pace of a song, but this song is ALL about pace. Take your time. Real slow.
