Pointer Sisters, "Yes We Can Can."

The Young At Heart Chorus was on "The Tonight Show" last night (Wednesday the 16th), and three of them were interviewed before their performance, one of whom was the woman who was having the difficulty learning that song. When Leno asked her if there was any particular song that was especially difficult to learn, she gave that one as her main example.

(By the way, they performed two songs on the show: James Brown's "I Feel Good" and the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated").

It was written by Allen Toussaint and first performed by Lee Dorcey in the 1960s. I like Dorecy's version as well as the Pointers. Maria Muldaur did a pretty good cover too.
