I've praised Chicago's "Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home" previously. While listening to KOPN last night, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a jazz instrumental cover of it. Organist Charles Earland released it in 1972, with the organ tackling what were the sung "La, la, la, la, la"s in Chicago's version. Earland's command of the melody, Hubert Laws fluttering over the melody on flute, and the solid brass accompaniment do the tune justice in a well-sustained 11-minute groove.
