Heard it on my favorite jazz station comin' into work this mornin', figured it'd be a hit around here:

Fan of Mr. Allison for a long, long time.

This song plays in my head when talking to certain types of people: https://youtu.be/hxZ-scE9mDk

Somehow I just knew it was gonna be that one!
While I recognized his name way back in '70 as being the author of Young Man Blues and Parchman Farm (covered by both Cactus and the Allman Brothers), I never actually got to hear the man himself until about '81 when I found Mose Allison Sings, abandoned in a house I'd just moved into. It was in pretty good shape and I still have it.
