Although originally recorded by Eddie Floyd in 1966 this familiar hit has remained popular thanks to covers by artists such as Otis Redding David Bowie and Eric Clapton. This dynamic version for young players is based on the swing-shuffle hit recorded by Amii Stewart in 1979.

Le premier enregistrement de Knock on Wood a été réalisé en 1966 par Eddie Floyd qui a écrit cette chanson en collaboration avec Steve Cropper. Depuis celle-ci a été reprise très régulièrement par des artistes célèbres parmi lesquels David Bowie Cher Eric Clapton et Michael Bolton. Ce succès est donc connu de toutes les générations et réjouira un large public.

Written with a high-powered shuffle groove as featured on American Idol here is a flattering and fun chart for any vocalist. Solid ensemble backgrounds compliment the soloist and there are feature spots for the band along with a flexible solo section for alto tenor or trumpet.
