- RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MR LOUIS JORDAN & HIS TYMPANY FIVE ! Louis Jordan (July 8, 1908 February 4, 1975) was a pioneering American jazz, blues and rhythm & blues musician, songwriter and bandleader who enjoyed his greatest popularity from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Known as "The King of the Jukebox", Jordan was highly popular with both black and white audiences in the later years of the swing era. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #59 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Louis Jordan was one of the most successful African-American musicians of the 20th century, ranking fifth in the list of the all-time most successful black recording artists according to Billboard magazine's chart methodology. Though comprehensive sales figures are not available, he scored at least four million-selling hits during his career. Jordan regularly topped the R&B "race" charts, and was one of the first black recording artists to achieve a significant "crossover" in popularity into the mainstream (predominantly white) American audience, scoring simultaneous Top Ten hits on the white pop charts on several occasions. After Duke Ellington and Count Basie, Louis Jordan was probably the most popular and successful black bandleader of his day. But in contrast to almost all of his colleagues of all races, he was a major personality in his own right, an all-round entertainer of enormous and diverse accomplishments. Jordan was a talented singer with great comedic flair, and he fronted his own band for more than twenty years. He duetted with some of the biggest solo singing stars of his day, including Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Jordan was also an actor and a major black film personality -- he appeared in dozens of "soundies" (promotional film clips), made numerous cameos in mainstream features and short films, and starred in two musical feature films made especially for him. He was an instrumentalist who specialized in the alto saxophone but played all forms of the instrument, as well as piano and clarinet. A productive songwriter, many of the songs he wrote or co-wrote became influential classics of 20th-century popular music. Although Jordan began his career in big band swing jazz in the 1930s, he became famous as one of the leading practitioners, innovators and popularizers of "jump blues", a swinging, up-tempo, dance-oriented hybrid of jazz, blues and boogie-woogie.

Луис страхотен музикант,слушам го с огромно удоволствие
Love this Dude! The Greatest of all Time
I love this song. As a teenager I bought a bunch of second-hand records at a shop, and this was on one of them. The lines stuck in my head - "I'm like a ship that's lost at sea. But when I get my arms around you, ain't going to let you go till 1953." Thank you Alan!
Somebody Up There Digs Me , the thick vinyl record with Louis on the cover showing big eyes always impressed me as a kid flipping through my dad record collection . Now once in a while I play the album and am still impressed about his total package of music entertainment wich influenced the whole scala of rhythme we use or play and hear and see today what a genius . Great upload and enjoy Music Peace
My favorite artist
And hell of a performer
🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 this is good music
B.B. King mentioned Louie Jordan in an interview. I think it's so interesting that the best guitar players were trying to mimic sax and trumpet players with the guitar.
Chuck Berry used to say that his guitar style was built around trying to emulate Jordan's horns. James Brown adored him, too/
BB Ki g copied this song !
Exacting, perfectionist bandleader. "Keep smiling, or you're fired!"
In every video I see of LJ and the T5, they are sharp as tacks - they spared no expense for clothing.
louis jordan's a badass... nice upload, though i'd have thought this'd have at least a hundered thousand views
SUPERB!
This is awesome
Really nice !
Fabulous vid. and performances, thanks
#1 on the R&B chart the day I was born -- 1/17/46. I believe though, that it would be another two years before the term "R&B Chart" replaced "Race Record Chart".
louis jordan mast entertainerer of the30s to the 50s.without this guy american music would be very different
I know
Some imbecile didn't like this?
That classic "2 and" ending
I love the chick on the couch wondering if she should call him or not. Ha. ha.
18 number one R&B hits in 8 years (Drake has taken more than twice as long to get his record 22) and 3 number one country hits (!!) along with Bob Wills, the best case for a unique progenitor of rock and roll, where there to be one.
happy b in h
