[maxonian206]

How can there be 4 people in this world not to like this?

[pokefreakbror]

I saw the Blues Brothers the other day for the first time. When i heard this song, i started singing outloud along to the song. When it was done my parents just stared at me for a few minutes without saying anything. Then my dad said: ''Son, where have you learned to get such a good taste in music?''

[kuebelable]

i was born to late ;D

[Aiurin]

Also a pretty good motto: "You only live but once, and when you're dead you're done, so let the good times roll"

[Aiurin]

This is what I'm gonna listen to when I move into my own place

[dal4018]

@Aiurin You should find the 4 IDIOTS who disliked this classic and chew them out

[youralcoholicdad44]

[control88able]

@numbifyify umad?

[control88able]

[numbifyify]

@control88able YOUSUCK

[Neversellyoursoul1]

i knew who Louis Jordan was but i did't know he had a song like this, this song is straight legend

[dal4018]

@Neversellyoursoul1 This man was known as the KING OF THE JUKEBOX he was one of the pioneers for a style of music called JUMP BLUES.Music historians like Quincy Jones said this style of music was the predessor for everything you heard in the past, present and will hear in the future.

[thegodfather204]

this song is a legend, better than the stupid ass hole songs you get these days.

[WTF333dude]

The best music ever !

thumbs up for 1940 !!

[mythid12]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful music.



[lNHUMANE]

This clip is from a 1947 movie starring Jordan called Reet, Petite, And Gone.

Thumbs up if that is why you are here. *crickets*

[adzug]

[ilovecoke1998]

good job

[markmarktarmann]

@ripmev only 55, punk. and i can play this song. you can only play a game.

[Boingusboingus]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is Mafia 2?

[perrone57]

@Boingusboingus It's a video game based on an american man's life in the 40s and 50s, and he took part in a kind of organisation (Mafia)

[Helstonhillbilly1]

Thats me!

[badvagman]

MAFIA II Rulzs

[SuperBoyboys]

When this song was on and a shopkeper wasnt playing it he ejoyed abaut 50 tommy gun bullets to the face

[74067eco]

Thumbs up if you found this song because of THE BLUES BROTHERS!

[dal4018]

@74067eco Thumbs down to the 4 IDIOTS who dislike this classic

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

Jake: how often does the train go past?

[MrrANDOM34]

@ALLERTORLOVER69 So enough that you won`t even notice it

[jwpepperchris1]

@ALLERTORLOVER69 Elwod: So often you won't even notice it.

[79panther]

I don't have a clue what Mafia 2 is, this is a classic tune. I really wish music like this was still being made.

[cokemall]

fuck the gamers, this is also good without MAFIA 2. ;)

[juancitox77]

@cokemall nobody said that was only good with mafia 2, whats your problem about GAMING guys?

[cokemall]

@juancitox77 it's all fine, i'm a gamer myself. just because the best rated comments were about mafia 2.

[Renegadeairsoft]

@cokemall hey man ya us gamers are not saying its only good with the game think about it this song is now opened to the newer generations in a way the game just brought it back you should be happy that gamers playing mafia 2 liked it

[juancitox77]

@GsusFreakid first of all, i dont care if its a classic, this song is from 50' and i born on 90' SO o can u expect that everybody know this song? guys like me can discover it thorough THAT game, and its not stupid, u are. sry for my english

[Beatboxingkid]

@juancitox77 This song, sang by the great Louis Jordan, in this video, was made in '49. Just saying.

[juancitox77]

@Beatboxingkid i love listening songs older, in 30' like carlos gardel (:

[juancitox77]

yeah i listen it bacause of mafia 2, this song rocks

[StevenJYarussi]

This has gotta be the best video and version of Let the Good Times Roll

Louis Jordan is the best

[cicalinarrot]

4 people let the bad times roll.

[KMO325]

The birth of R&B.

[2ndviolinist]

Thumbs up if you came to listen to this because you're a Jordan fan and had no clue what Mafia 2 is.

[mikstaslaya]

@2ndviolinist

Mafia II is winning

[snowman44077]

@2ndviolinist Thumbs up if Elwood's apartment brought you here. "How often does the train go by? So often you won't even notice. *sign falls*"

[albatrossdumale]

@2ndviolinist i came because i love all kind of music and sad to say also because of mafia 2

[2ndviolinist]

@nice3333333333 There are worse addictions.

[programaciontecnica]

@2ndviolinist f you came to listen to this because you're a Jordan fan obviously you don't know wtf is mafia 2 because you are like 80

[2ndviolinist]

@programaciontecnica I posted it. Have been a fan for 30 years. Played a few of his tunes in a band. His legacy will outlive this popular video game.

[dal4018]

@2ndviolinist You got that right all the great musicians from the 50's said he was a major influence on them as a musician.

[2ndviolinist]

@programaciontecnica Sorry, I didn't read which song. I posted his "What's the Use of Getting Sober". Can't play many video games because I'm a quadriplegic. I'm a young 59. I was 20 once, and I remember wilder times than playing video games. No shame in being any age unless you're snotty about it.

[Telamon8]

@2ndviolinist

I actually learned of him by total accident because I meant to search for Louis Armstrong but forgot that it was Armstrong and thought it was Jordan, soooo... yeah, once I heard the songs he made I was a Jordan fan since.

[dal4018]

@2ndviolinist Watching the movie "MALCOLM X" is what turned me on to this great man heard BEANS AND CORNBREAD

[UGoTDZeZ]

@2ndviolinist what is a mafia 2?

[UGoTDZeZ]

@misterb1az3d oooh

[6020e3]

@2ndviolinist i'm a Jordan fan since i was in school, but i also know what Mafia 2 is (also in, mafia 2 they play the sam butera version)

[keni216]

@2ndviolinist I knew about this song from the blues brothers, when they were sittin in elwoods apartment by the "L" tracks.

[keni216]

I dont play video games. I only listen to good music, real music. NO JUSTIN BEIBER OR LADY GA GA HERE. Just real artists.

[dal4018]

@keni216 Hallelujah if those two came along during the Apollo in the 40's they wouldn't last one second

[MrDeusDiabolus]

@keni216 yessss! Blues for ever man :) this is the real music!

[OrangeOxSoundtracks]

[rocktenniscat]

Remembering the great Louis Jordan today: July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975

[dal4018]

@rocktenniscat THANK YOU I FORGOT THE DATE THIS IMMORTAL DIED 2-4-75 AGE 66 HE'S MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!

[rocktenniscat]

@dal4018 - He is someone I really want to check out more....what a giant talent!! Cheers. 

[dal4018]

@rocktenniscat YOUTUBE IS YOUR WAY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS FORGOTTEN IMMORTAL IT WAS HOW I DID.

[clarkbell]

You sleaze! My bed!

[maxpayne2424]

good song, fishbone's version is awesome as well

[BadgerBroadcasting]

I only came here cos of Mafia 2. Who else did?

[shaunthonys]

HOW OFTEN DOES THE TRAIN GO BY?

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

this is the huble aboad of on ellwood blues

[LEON13858]

stand by me

[Rockabillykid01]

I think Louis Jordan is hilarious, Haven´t found many artists like him from his time. Also, it´s a nice mix between Jazz and Blues!

[julianrocks11]

thumbs up if you listened to this because of mafia 2

[devildriverlambofgod]

@julianrocks11 Hell yeah brother!!! I love that fucking game sooooooo much man. I beat it on hardest difficulty and didn't get the achievement for it... grrrrr >:(

[Aerodus]

He's not just singing, he's givin' you a freakin' order!

[Psycho420x]

I dont wanna start anything but in my opinion I think this should've been on fallout 3. :]

[coldcomfort79]

Blues Brothers bought me here

[trivium666fan]

I think it sucks that music like this is only popular because of a video game. When that video game stops being played (because of whatever new console comes out), so will great artists like this.

[ManicMonkey84]

Jake: "How often does the train go by?"

Elwood: "So often that you won't even notice it."

.. later.. Elwwod: "Hey you bum! That's my bed!"

[dal4018]

CAN'T BELIEVE TWO IDIOTS DISLIKE TIHS CLASSIC

[ekiver]

Dat Rite! Let de Good Times Roll - 'Cos ya' ain't so ole'

[anitadavideduo]

[bluesfreund]

greeeaaaatt :-)))

[ninjaboy320]

thumb if u loved this song before and after mafia 2

[SCWINSHAXEN]

That is one of the best fucking songs in the world, i heard it the first time in the blues brothers movie in elwoods apartment...

let the good times roll

[dal4018]

@SCWINSHAXEN YOUR RIGHT THE GARBAGE TODAY CAN'T THIS

[gmosphere]

let it roll over and crush the one who should not be named (you know WHO I Mean) and its not the WHO

[hanj31]

gordon goodwin used this version as a basis for his version. I was wondering where he got his arrangement from.

[postatility]

There is,of course,another great version of this by The Genius,Ray Charles.Louis Jordan was a huge influence on Ray,Sonny Rollins,Van Morrison,and countless other great musicians!

[dal4018]

@postatility Yes Ray did his version live and Quincy Jones did a version of this classic as well from his CD "Q's Jook Joint".This man's skill is the reason the music business is in existence today.

[hebneh]

I see other people remember this song from the first Blues Brothers film. It was played (ironically) when Jake and Elwood had just reunited at the nasty, dismal apartment of one of them; the setting was nothing like "good times".

And then Carrie Fisher pulls up outside and fires a shoulder-held rocket launcher and blows up the entire building. The Brothers just climb out of the debris, dust themselves off, and go off on their adventures.

[TrailersVideoGame]

@TheModernWarfare2NEW yep lol

[TheMpmpmpmpmpmp]

his facial expressions are priceless!

[stephen99txc]

Please stop saying Mafia II is the reason you're here. Sure its a great game but you should enjoy this era in music for what it is and not what its in. Louis isn't even the singer, its Sam Butera & The Witnesses. Both versions are great. But Sam is the singer on the game.

[sartanko]

0:30

Oh my, didn't know Luca Gurino played in a band.

[bouchard123j]

[joggle4321]

[dal4018]

Me too Mike strangely enough I discovered this legend after watching MALCOLM X hearing his music in the background

[BGDD27]

someone explain something to me. when did they make a 2nd RnB genre? i put in RnB on Google to look for musicians like this but i found a bunch of teenagers the girls wear slutty outfits and the boys sing really high notes you think they're girls. what the hell happened to music.

[larrycancooke2]

@BGDD27 ....Sam Cooke died.....thaths when music to >ell.....Cooke

[dal4018]

@BGDD27 Its like the edsel long gone!!!!!!!!!!!

[z0mbi3dav3]

i am 31 years old, & Louis Jordan has been one of my favorite musicians for nearly half of my life. this is wonderful.

[dlgntrprs]

that guy is from whos line is it anyway

[jamzinjim]

Some more Jump blues (early rock and roll)- Louis J recorded hundreds of great tunes! This one is done by BB King as well.

[22shaul]

שיר יפה!

[22shaul]

[Mewsinghan]

When is this recorded?

[Lman94]

WHY IS THERE A SOCCER BALL AND HOW COME WHEN I CLICK IT EVERYTHING GOES BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZ? O_O

[AnakinSkype]

The music is here for your enjoyment- That's the good thing about it it will last long after we're all gone and someone in the future will be saying that Lady GaGa is what music should be. What crap we have today.

[karrs8000]

I really don't listen to this music

but this is good stuff baby!
