Body and Soul written by Eddie Jefferson [US1] -
These are the same lyrics as Jefferson's "Coleman Hawkins" set of "Body and Soul" lyrics with certain additions, including a reference to Eddie Jefferson. The lyricist of the adapted lyrics was not established, but they are likely by one or more members of The Manhattan Transfer, which uses these lyrics.
