RJ, Tbone, James O'Donnell have been into the music of Louis Jordan since the 1980's, his music always a part of their performances.

Saxophonist/vocalist/songwriter and bandleader Louis Jordan (July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975). Jordan was a pioneering American musical artist who was very successful from the late 1930s to the early 1950s.
Known as "The King of the Jukebox," he was highly popular with both black and white audiences in the later years of the swing era. Jordan was one of the most successful African-American musicians of the 20th century, ranking fifth in the list of the most successful black recording artists according to Joel Whitburn's analysis of Billboard Magazine’s R&B chart.
