In "Me," Jools Holland sings praises about his "hip shakin' mama" who suits him "to a T." He expresses his love for her, and how she fulfills every need and want he has. The upbeat tempo of the song, along with the repetitive phrase "she suit me to a T," indicates the depth of his infatuation. Holland's soulful voice grooves over the piano, giving the bluesy song a jazzy twist.

It features Holland on piano and vocals, as well as his two backing vocalists Sam Brown and Ruby Turner. The horn section, which includes a saxophone and trumpet, adds depth to the song's overall sound.

The best material Tom ever sung. Simply superb!

Tom is about the only singer who can sing a Jerry Lee number without sounding inferior.

There's a great posting of Tom with Jerry Lee guesting on one of Tom's TV shows way back, and another great one of him with Little Richard, if anything actually sounding better than they did. Proving his great versatility, there's also a clip on YT of him singing "Sonny" with Ella Fitzgerald, again on his own show I think. When I first saw it I thought, oh no, he'll not look good compared with Ella , but I was so wrong. He was with her all the way. It's great duet, and a superb version of the song, my favourite.
