When Jessica gets played on the radio over here in the UK , most people think of it as the Top Gear theme , I had no idea that chuck leavell played on that , as the youtube clip is wonderful , I will now watch them all ...You know this guy? ...and he played on Hail,Hail Rock&roll.?..one of the best music documentaries ever....If I send you a Cheque , will you buy him a beer from melilybee wrote:Thanks for the info Alan,
Top Gear sounds like a great show. On the show credits it says the opening theme is "Jessica", composed by Dickey Betts. Dickey was a former and founding member of The Allman Bros. Band.
Not to get "out of track" here but Chuck Leavell has an interesting video excerpt on that song.....

I like this song but I think you have to laugh at it...not sure if it was meant to be serious and yes it's hard to believe that this was his only Number 1lilybee wrote:Actually, My Ding A Ling was Chuck Berry's ONLY # 1 hit anywhere!
