The Jazz Crusaders: "Old Socks New Shoes, New Socks Old Shoes"

Released in 1970,

this was "The Jazz Crusaders" eighteenth (18th) album,

thirteenth (13th) studio recording

(plus five live releases);

and their last

as "The Jazz Crusaders."

After this album,

they dropped the "Jazz"

from their name

and were known simply as

"The Crusaders."

This is an entertaining album

nice, easy but soulful and funky,

a great mix of original tunes

and memorable covers of a few then-recent

pop hits.

Here is their version of "Thank You Fallettinme Be Mice Elf Agin"
