[Dixielandjazz] Nat Gonella ~ Oh Monah, Ted Easton Jazz Band

Since you are talking about disco jazz tunes, looks like you forgot to mention Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps cover of Baby Face.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OAyOWa2LQM

I have the Stars On playing their Beatles covers, so I have to look for their set you mentioned.  Did that appear as a 45, or LP?  Do you remember the title?
