: I would like to know if the LH&R version of "HI Fly" done by the group in the late 1950's or early 1960's is an original arrangement of theirs, or is it a cover of an exact arrangement someone's instrumental version? Please tell me what group and album does it come from?
Dear Bruce,
The original version of "Hi-Fly" is on the "Lambert Hendricks and Ross" albums on the columbia label currently on one or another of the current compilations now on the market. It was Randy Weston, music and I did the lyrics.
Sincerely,
Jon
