But I listened again and could hear it a little in the horns.<br /><br />I did a google search for Hudson and Haywood. It lead me to a youtube "video" of "Don't Push It." It seems that a couple of people made the Hudson connection to this song too. "You Can Do It" even shows up in the related videos sidebar.<br /><br />I love that you can search an old song and chances are it'll show up on youtube. :-)bklyn6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03878143211808703104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-24988235567182963402009-08-18T18:49:33.245-07:002009-08-18T18:49:33.245-07:00D W JazzLover: You're welcome.
