[mcpepper]

Pleasant, peaceful. I like it!

[ittou5]

Somebody was drunk and missed the like button.

[steliosece]

why the dislike? :(

[danmonsees]

Real music played by a real performer (one of the best ever by the way). Nothing like the garbage you hear on pop radio stations nowadays. If you don't know about Chick Webb, go do some research. You won't be disappointed.......

[starcraftdrumz]

as good now as then!

[dmunoz5999]

Good Music, real.  I love this generation!!

[asder111]

Trankey Dooooo!

[SergiuNeghina]

cheers

[daywalker48603]

Beautiful! I see why Gene Krupa was his avid student!

[Canashea]

this was played at a 1940s weekend i recently went to, theres something really innocent about music back then

[amandajd1163]

I am soooo excited to have found this... makes my day

[nhs2008NC]

Thumbs up, if you heard it first in Mafia II!

[electrochoc1000]

[republicano19]

Man, I hate my times like they hated them times...

[d4don2006]

One of the all-time greats!

[wa1ufo]

Real Music! Chick Webb was amazing-TB of the spine but he had this great band!

[6dark6kid6]

...i was born in the wrong era...

what's nowadays called music is rubbish

i want them times!

[Barndancer61]

...actually it's Ella in 1937. I have the original Decca record and it was pressed in 1937.

[CARDUELIS999]

It's just astonishing that Chick Webb, a man with enormous physical disabiltiies, isn't widely known today. Why doesn't a charity devoted to the disabled make this great man their examplar? With an ad campaign saying "Chick Webb had a twisted spine that caused him enormous pain. And he told his condition to go to hell. So he made music."

[glowbox3000]

Not very found of thus but it's different

[jingsken]

how amazing can music be :p

fuck lady gaga and all the modern shit

[standingpretty]

God why wasen't I born around this time? crap.

[standingpretty]

Love this song!

[trydreamin]

Chick was the man and this sound like a F Henderson arrangement.  Elle, as usual, is pure silk. Sure puts your mind in a different place.

[titanus49]

@trydreamin Hi there I have an MCA vinyl record,called "Spinning the Webb",with many great recordings of Chick and his orchestra. Amongst them is" The dipsy doodle",with the fantastic Ella,according to the liner notes,this song was recorded in New York City,December 17.1937,written by Clinton FD&H. I love it very much.

[titanus49]

@titanus49 sorry trydreamin,I meant that the tune was composed by Larry Clinton

[DrumTVShow]

I love studying Chick Webb, fascinating!...

[prunellapussywuggums]

oh if only we had this entertainment today; we'd all be doing the lindy hop and wouldn't be flabby----I can say this BECAUSE I am FLABBY!

[ittou5]

@prunellapussywuggums

bye the way, I dance lindyhop twice a week and I`m not flabby. Check if there is a swing dance society in your city and try to join a Lindy Hop community near you, you`ll be amazed

[rootheart]

when I was a kid, I started drumming, cause I loved the jazz I heard on the radio AFN....once I read about a guy called Chick Webb who died behind his drumset...I was very impressed, later i became a heavy metall drummer...and still I wanna die behind my drumset

[ohsuckitup]

I love Chick and Ella!!!!

[Bumblebee38]

This is Ella fitzgerald singing in 1939 !!!!

[caroljm36]

when I hear this kinda stuff, I think of my grandma's old console radio...so imagine it's 1940, and the big ol' radio is the center of the world, and around 9 or 10 pm this amazing shit is coming over the air from some hotel or nightclub back East like the Savoy, and you're cool and you're drinking at the house and there is NO fucking TV so you dance and and sing along and make your own fun. Whole different world.

[BRazor78]

I'm a little sad that I wasn't there to live it in person, being born in '92, But thank goodness I was born late enough for youtube to take me to that different world.

[AcidPanda]

93'! I agree!

[fiftiesflashback1953]

@BRazor78 I know exactly how you feel...I'm a child of the 1950 and love all of it. I can envision myself sittling behind the wheel of my 1939 LaSalle Convertible Coupe driving into the old gravel parking lot of a local Road House to hear a great dance band for the evening...but "Those Good Ole Days"...they were really terrible. It would probably be nice for a visit, butcha wouldn't wanna live there.

[callumkeohane]

@BRazor78 also born in 92 and agree on so many levels i even wish i caught the 80s

[gunny556fly]

@caroljm36 whole better world you mean back when men were men japan was a rare thing people talked about and when you said Toyota people looked at you like you were playing in china town with some pipes! lol

[emdotambient]

@caroljm36 When I hear this kinda stuff I imagine it's 1936, black swing bands rule the music world putting out carefree tracks like this despite that the band members couldn't stay at the hotels they were playing in, or even enter via the front door. Most of America is desperately poor, the world is blowing up all around us, the US involvement in WWII is imminent, it's hot and muggy, I'm in some hotel or nightclub back East and there's NO fucking AC, but I don't care, 'cause I'm swingin'!

[PrimusRush311]

@emdotambient True that! Now it's 2011, most of America is desperately poor, the world is blowing up all around us, the US involvement in WWIII is imminent, the weather keeps getting more devastating, I'm in some cheap ass apartment trying to put myself through school and all that everyone's listening to is dub-step and Justin Bieber. This blows, hahaha. I should have been born back when music was good.
