J.J. Cale

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. more »

Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Well, the man been working 
In the shop all year
He said 
"Men, we've got to get out of here"
Well, the girl been working in the five-and-dime
She says, 
"Girls, let's go while we've still got the time"
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
Tell the captain
"Put the rhum on the boat"
Everybody on board, let's see if she'll float
Let that old jet plane fly on by
We've got the time till the day we die
Let's go to Tahiti
Let's go to Tahiti
