The British comedian, Lee Evans released a number of "shorts" on
video/DVD under the name of "The World of Lee Evans". It dates from
about 1994/1996. In one of them, he plays a gas station night
attendant on his first ever night. Someone turns up for
gas/chips/sodas/music and has to mime all his requests through the
glass (the door is locked to discourage robberies). In one of the
scenes he picks out a music cassette and plays it over the station
tannoy (to see if the guy likes the music). I am pretty sure the song
is a swing version of "i'm in the mood for love", featuring a man
(Louis Armstrong?) and a woman duetting. The two characters "sing"
along to the song through the glass (with Lee Evans taking on the part
of the woman, wearing a mop-head as a wig). Needless to say it ends in
a rousing crescendo as he lets the guy in to the station, whereupon he
promptly produces a shotgun! What is the version of the song in
question? Is it "I'm in the mood for love?" and where can I get hold
of a copy?

Many Thanks
Toby

Hello,  the answer is the Late John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt. The
song is indeed "I'm in the mood" (for love). The song was featured on
John Lee Hooker's 1990 album "The Healer". It should be known that
John Lee wrote this song.
This specific version was recording in the late 80's early 90's.
Bonnie and John jammed over the tune for 30 continuous minutes, the
sound engineers did the rest.

Peace out,
