These guys are super cheesy. The lead singer is total douche who walks around acting/talking like a total idiotic 1940s cliche "hey, how bout them dames hey."
@MrRsnyder717 .... that's the point don't you think? since this music orignated in the 30s and 40s. Maybe you should do some research before posting your comments here. its called style and these guys pulled it off! :D
@ilovefluffysheep Do some research? I've seen these guys play at the Derby and other venues in LA many times in the 1990s. I know about the scene very well. The swing scene is great, but most people in the 1940s did NOT wear zoot suits and act like a walking cliche.
@MrRsnyder717 well i'm sure that you are one of those selected individuals that know a lot about the scene and i'm not dissing you for it! however i'm sure also a LOT of people do not know about this type of scene or the type of style. so why not go over the top? you can't expect everyone to know what the real style is, its meant to be fun, its not meant to be completely historical!
Folks, this is the first video from their first VINYL LP back in 1990 — I remember when we all saw this for the first time back then, we were blown away. We immediately booked them for some San Francisco gigs, and before you know it, the whole Swing Scene of the 1990s exploded. All because of RCR. So, go chase yourselves!
talked to a friend, he called what i wanted, jazzy mambo swing. and this here is really good, but i want something heavyer... maby more jazz...dont know
hey bro, maybe i'm a bit late given it's been 3 months since you've posted this, but try and check out the brian setzer orchestra for a heavier jazzy/swing/bigband thing!
Not at all. He went to a place called the Blue Cafe in Long Beach one night - heard RCR play - even got up on stage. He commented how awesome he thought this sound was - a year later he performed at a place called The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano , the papers advertised it as the BSO - and the rest is history. RCR doesn't get the credit they deserve.
i don't like this version :(

V8Deuce is right--RCR @ The Blue Cafe preceded the early 90's swing revival. And BSO.

Not as good as the version recorded later, I heard the Stern Bros. were embezzling money from the band.

They were actually busy with another project and didn't have time to dedicate to RCR. So they were replaced.
