This sitar funk take on Jumpin Jack Flash is a beauty....
Ananda Shankar - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Ananda Shankar (11 December 1942 - 26 March 1999) was an Indian musician best known for his fusion of Western and Eastern musical styles. He was married to Tanushree Shankar.
Born in Almora in Uttar Pradesh, India, Shankar was the son of Amala and Uday Shankar, popular dancers, and also the nephew of renowned sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar. Ananda did not learn sitar from his uncle but studied instead with Dr. Lalmani Misra in Varanasi.
In the late 1960s Shankar travelled to Los Angeles, where he played with many contemporary musicians including Jimi Hendrix. There he was signed to Reprise Records and released his first studio album, the self-titled Ananda Shankar in 1970, featuring original Indian classical material alongside sitar-based cover versions of popular hits such as The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and The Doors' "Light my fire". This album has become an enduring cult classic.

Listening to the song the other day, I do slightly prefer the cover version of Pink Floyd's 1967 original single '"See Emily Play" from Bowie's "1960s nostalgia" album Pin Ups (1973) Vi

Sorry but not for me BG, the rock element loses the character of the original. Don Henley created an excellent tune that somehow created an atmosphere and a narrative with some well written lines that stirred the imagination, well for me anyway. All that seems to have been lost here as the rock element has drowned it out. To quote Janice Nicholls "Oi'll give it foive!" Sam.
