Thank You Eddie Van Halen For Your Cover Of ‘Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)’ (RIP)

If you have never heard it, from the man best known for the 80s song ‘Jump’:

Eddie Van Halen’s father Jan on the clarinet, and Dave Lee Roth doing his best impression of Scatman Crothers.

Some jazz bars will tell you Eddie was to blame for the song enjoying a renewed popularity, not so sure about that (all before my time), but always makes me smile when I hear it –  a happy little song, the way jazz should be.

Gone too soon.
