Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm 'So Fine'

And so fine it is - the late great Ike on a 1959 tv series from St Louis 'Party Time' - watch it till the end - he gets interviewed. Then Jimmy Thomas - one of the KoR vocalists steps up to do Splish Splash - magic. Jimmy Thomas became a UK resident and session singer performing with all sorts of acts - I think I saw him on Totp with Dexy's once doing Let's Get This Straight From the Start.
