Jumpin’ Jack Flash by Leon Russell – ***

First released: 1971

Strangely, when Leon Russell took the mike at "The Concert for Bangla Desh", you’d think that he would have sang "Roll Away the Stone" or something, but instead opted for a cover version of this Rolling Stones classic coupled with "Youngblood" by The Coasters (and The Beatles at one point!). It’s a fine performance due to Russell’s “over-the-top” style.
