I watched a youtube of Harry James doing a cover of Green Onions with Buddy Rich and it kind of reminded me of listening to Mick Jagger.  I was listening to XM last night, on one of the current channels, and a newer Stones song came up that initially sounded like the good old Stones tunes.  Then I realized the tune could have been almost anything they recorded over the past 30 years in that it followed the formula and Jagger sang it the same way he sings everything he's put out since 1982 or so.  He probably had a song about the Falklands that sounded like the song he did about Gulf War 1 that sounded like this one and a few others.  This Harry James tune was somewhat interesting, and I don't listen to too much Harry James, but it sounded like he was putting it through a formula.
