Random request time.

I have been dredging childhood memories to try and remember the songs I thought were cool as a kid. One that I haven't been able to nail is the artist of the particular "Sumertime Blues" version I liked.

I taped (VHS) off TV a performance or music video where the guy in I think a white jacket sung and played the piano and was pretty active in doing so.

Does anyone know who he was or where I can find the video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFUPLOznDqM by Brian Setzer sounds the most like what I remember (it has been 20 years) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9x0wbKHos0 by Alan Jackson fits the timeframe but not the accent.

Thanks!

Played live in studio on an NZ tv show, or a recorded version on an international show?

Can you describe the appearance of the performer, and video features if any?

He jumped around the stage a bit, pretty heavy on the piano keys but pretty much just a piano on stage, dude in white jacket, thats about all I can dredge out of my memory :-)
