Here's another number from Big Daddy, the band that takes songs written after '59 and arranges them like songs written before '59.

One day back when we were doing the original Garfield and Friends cartoon show for CBS Saturday morn, I wrote a song for an episode about a cat that sang rock n' roll like Little Richard. I was already a fan of Big Daddy then and I'd been impressed with Tom's Little Richard impression so I hired Tom. He was so good, I later wrote another musical episode to use him in.
