Paul Weller performs 'That's Entertainment'

Paul Weller is one of the coolest rock stars ever, a man whose enjoyed three stages of stardom over a 30-plus year career as the leader of The Jam and Style Council, and currently as a solo act. 

Even in his 50s he remains fashionably cool and fresh, all the while mining the best mod, soul and R&B influences from the 1960s and '70s. 

As leader of The Jam, Weller was one of my childhood heroes. Sadly, I never saw them perform live and, unlike most rock stars, Weller rarely performs tunes from his band days. So it was nice to see him pull out one of my favorite Jam songs, "That's Entertainment," during this recent appearance on "The Jimmy Fallon Show."
