Johnny O'Neal - 'I'm Your Mailman'

Pianist and singer Johnny O'Neal never learned to read music, but didn't really need to: He was one of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and even convincingly imitated the fast:fingered Art Tatum in the biopic Ray. Now, after decades off the scene - and with his health under control - he's re:establishing himself in New York as an incredible old:school performer.
Jazz Night in America visits him in one of New York's most intimate rooms: The new 30-person basement room Mezzrow. O'Neal plays there every Monday night, where we find him welcoming special guests to the stage.

oh my goodness---never thought I'd ever hear anyone else sing this again..
My maternal grandmother used to play this version at her piano bar, back in the 70's.
What a treat to hear it again. Great piano duo there at the end, also--Johnny has been one of my favorites since the 80's...

I work for USPS, and I have to say after working 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week this is a go to song on a Saturday, when we only get that one Sunday off.
