Get Out of My Life Woman

Joe Williams recorded the song for his album Joe Williams Live! at the London House in Chicago with the Count Basie Orchestra alumni rhythm section and arranger Benny Carter contributing to the session's jazz-soul direction. Williams' version helped bring Allen Toussaint's composition into the jazz repertoire, blending soul material with big-band and jazz-blues sensibilities during the late 1960s. The recording remains a respected jazz interpretation of a frequently covered song and is valued by collectors exploring the crossover between soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz performance.
