Trying to find a song based on a very tiny fragment of memory (lemmy.world)

There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.

The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.

I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.

Long John Baldry. From 1971-72. “Don’t try to lay no Boogie-Woogie on the Kings of Rock and Roll”

THIS is the answer! Thank you so very very much! I am completely unsure why a song I only heard the one time has come back to haunt me over the last 40 years or so, but it did and you have solved the mystery!
