LUCKY MILLINDER ~ CHEW TOBACCO RAG ~ 1951

[TheRumac]

great tune. what's with the prejudices showing up in the comments? As a fat gay white muslim atheist nazi married to a black jewish chinese princess who was raised by wolves I find it all so fucking boring. ONE WORLD. ONE PEOPLE. TOO MANY LABELS.

If you ain't likin' dis stuff, call dat funeral home...you dunt died and you are graveyard dead!

[MrJNScott]

Billboard mentioned this song's "big rocking beat" in its 4/21/51 issue -- before Bill Haley or Little Richard had recorded any rock and roll.

@ pandacrunch. My grandparents were from another country, let`s leave them out of this.They came as poor immigrants and died nearly millionaires. What have I contributed? More that you could ever imagine. I worked in Black radio in the South for 35 years for a substandard salary because I loved the music and helping the community. It was more than playing the old music.We fed and helped thusands of people. I tell the TRUTH when I speak. I don`t believe in today`s bullshit way of spinning it.

[wynonie]

Most black folk don`t really care about their heritage and culture and all the awesome contributions they made to it. At least not musically. I have NEVER met one that actually knows ANYTHING about early R&B past James Brown. And they couldn`t name more than 2 of his Federal records. They would rather hear some stupid Rap song and piss and moan. That`s more relevant to their stupid,useless existence.

[pandacrunch]

@wynonie Your grandparents were probably giving the same ignorant hate speech about blacks when jazz, blues, and r&b first emerged in their era. What have you contributed to our world and society? Nothing, except of course your stupid and useless existence.
