Sam Cooke had a #1 hit with Another Saturday Night in 1963 (on the R&B charts for one week).  Then, in 1974, Cat Stevens stepped out and massacred it with an arrangement that was half-assed reggae and so disjointed it hurt to listen for more than 20 seconds (waaaaaay too much organ).

The song languished for another twenty years until Jimmy Buffett  picked it up and did the right thing.  Much as I love the Buffett rendition (also on my list as version 1), every now and then I do my own (it’s all mine) – which is more of a calypso than anything else.

If you like what you hear above, go to the Pop’Rock list and pick up the midi sequence or the MP3 file.
