Thumbs up if you first heard this on LA Noire.

you have no idea the amount of genius it took to make a song like this

This is the 1955 remake done under the direction of Quincy Jones. The original 1947 version is pointed to by most music historians as the segue song between the Swing Band Era and the Rock n' Roll Era. Louis was losing his popularity by the mid 50's when rock n roll as we think of is was coming alive so he remade his image with his "Rock n Roll" album. It bought him a few more years popularity. Unfortunately he died poor and in relative obscurity.

This is 1940's I do believe?

There ain't nobody here but us. The first and only time I heard this was in the '80s at the Old Den Millwall. Brilliant, thanx for posting.

A linkable record and sounds good on the HMV

Sounds 1950s or am I not right
