All 3 versions appeared on RCA Victor. Allen Toussaint, who originally recorded for RCA under the name &#8220;Tousan,&#8221; wrote the tune and recorded the first version. Then, piano master Floyd Cramer took it to the charts in 1963. But &#8220;Java&#8221; didn&#8217;t really heat up until Al Hirt hit #4 with it back in 1964. Listen to all 3 and vote for the one that moves you the most!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Plus, I&#8217;ll feature a terrible cover of the Buchanan &amp; Goodman classic, &#8220;The Flying Saucer&#8221; as well as a groovy tune that got a lot of inspiration from Santo &amp; Johnny.
