Run Run Run by Jo Jo Gunne is one of the great one-hit-wonders of the 1970s. It's up there with Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky, Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music and Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel, songs that will live on long after the names of those who originally performed them are forgotten.
Footage of Jo Jo Gunne playing Run Run Run on The Midnight Special in early 1974 has just been uploaded to the channel's ever-growing YouTube archive of 1970s brilliance, and it's sublime in all its long-haired, moustachioed, silk-shirted, satin-trousered glory. Front and centre is pianist and frontman Jay Ferguson, who alternates between piano stool and stage front, leaping about in leopard-print pants, clearly determined to make the most of the moment as the band keep the party lively.
